Field Kit

Since I'm working a new job and now have an hour off for lunch, I decided to make myself a little field kit. I hate wasting time and I love giving myself projects, so I'm carrying this with me everywhere and spending at least two hours (one before work, one during lunch) drawing each day. This kit includes: a booklet of 4"x6" watercolor postcards, small water color kit, jar of walnut ink, jar of water for ink, jar of water for watercolors, 4 brushes, a pencil, two markers, and a pen. I also usually carry a 9"x12" pad of bristol with me when I can. Here are some of the things I've made in the past two weeks (in the wonky order in which they uploaded). Click on images to enlarge.

FIELD KITS ARE GREAT FOR BUDDIES!

Do you use a brush or pen to do the lettering? Also, I appreciate the use of official Windsor Newton paper.
