An early birthday present arrived this week: a second Sendak Nutshell from Peg & Awl. Why two?
My first one is loaded with watercolor, gouache, tiny colored pencil leads (and lead holder), a white pencil, an Inktense pencil in “bark”, masking pen, and a fine liner for tiny sketches. Plus some washy tape and a masking remover.
The new one is for monochromatic sketching, something I’d like to explore more: graphite pencil, a gray blue watercolor pencil, water-soluble graphite pencils, a fine liner, Elegant Writer pen, a brush pen, and a Demi palette holding only French ultramarine and burnt sienna watercolors. Plus sharpener, an extra eraser for the Blackwing pencil, and a bit of kneaded eraser.
I typically carry at least one fountain pen with me, attached to a small Traveler’s Notebook, so that would be included with either tool kit.
