Variety of canvas panels; for instance 8x10, 9x12, 11x14 and 12x16 might all be appropriate.
Carrier for wet paintings (unused pizza box works well)
Paper Towels
Sketch pad & pencil
Assortment of brushes; I use hogs bristle filbert brushes; 2 #4, 2 #6, a #8, and a small detail brush, like a watercolor #0
Brush washer
