Question: Indispensable art supplies

[mekare]

So, I'm moving this month and have started packing things. That led me to the question which indispensable art supplies to put aside for easy retrieval and which ones I could probably do without for some time until I get to the box.
So far these made it into my list (because I still have art to do for a challenge and also need stuff for spontaneous inspiration):

• H pencil


• my watercolour sketchbook


• two brushes, one medium, one very thin for detailing


• my palette of watercolours (I think I have 16 colours in there)

I think might get by for a month or two with these if I had to (I'm hoping to get unpacking done earlier, but you never know).

What about you? Say, if you had to choose 4-5 (including paper) which would those be?

I'm unlurking just to answer this, lol.

I'm a (financially) poor traditional artist so my necessities are few and simple.

- 2B pencil
- Knead eraser
- Sharpener
- Black fine felt pen
- Whatever sketchbook I am currently using (lately there's been a lot of 99 cents ones, ugh)

In fairness, I keep all my art supplies except my sketchbook, in a portable "lockbox" (well it is, I suppose, as it came with a key but I've never used it, lol, but since I got it at CVS I'm unsure of it's reliability).

Yay unlurking! I forgot to include an eraser in my post, duh. Such an important tool!
