Urban Sketching Gear: What’s in Our Bags? 15 Jul 2025 • 1 min read

How to sketch fast-moving city life without losing the essence of the scene.
Back to Blog Home

We’ve tested everything from high-end watercolours to budget sketchbooks, and here’s what’s in our go-to kit:

  • A5 hardbound sketchbook (fits in most bags, opens flat)

  • Waterproof fineliners (0.3mm and 0.5mm)

  • Compact watercolour set with 12 pans

  • Water brush pen for quick colour washes

  • Folding stool for impromptu street sessions

Lightweight, durable, and ready for any city adventure — that’s our philosophy.
