Watercolor Travel Kit or Beginners Kit

I put together a watercolor travel kit in collaboration with Daniel Smith Art Supplies.  It is called the Daniel Smith Extra Fine Jacqueline Newbold Watercolor Travel Kit.  It would also serve as a great kit for beginning watercolor artists.  It is also a great checklist for those of you who have your own supplies and want to see what is needed for painting-on-the-go!
Included in the kit are 12 tubes of Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors.  I picked each one out because they match a color on the color wheel.

You will also get a very nice spiral bound Arches Watercolor Travel Journal with 140 lb watercolor paper in it and my favorite travel palette!  You will get 2 brushes, a kneaded eraser and a zippered case to carry your brushes and extra things.  All you will need to complete this travel kit would be a pencil and water.  If you bought everything separately, it would cost you $63 more.  

This kit is the what I used while doing the demonstrations on my DVD:  Art Journals: On-the-Go!

Here is the list of the colors that are included in the kit:

 Lemon Yellow

Phthalo Green Yellow Shade

Phthalo Yellow Green

Phthalo Turquoise

Cerulean Blue

French Ultramarine

Carbazole Violet

Quinacridone Violet

Permanent Red

Permanent Orange

Quinacridone Burnt Orange

New Gamboge
MY OTHER FAVORITE PAINTS AND ART SUPPLIES (NOT INCLUDED IN THE KIT):
Rich Green Gold
Cobalt Blue Teal
Cobalt Blue
Phthalo Blue, Red Shade
Permanent Rose
Quinacridone Gold
Glaze Pen, Black
Various Color Markers
Paper-mate Flair pen
Spray Bottle
