Mike will supply equipment but he suggests the following kit list:

2B and 4B drawing pencils
Waterproof black or sepia drawing pens
Nos 2, 6, and 10 round brushes. 3/4 inch flat brush. Again, please bring your favourite weapons of war if I haven’t included them!
A bag or pack to carry it all in. The whole lot should be easily portable.
