I've sometimes heard complaints about the dusty landscape of Coalinga (central California) where I grew up but I don't share those sentiments.

Though I usually use a craft paper sketch book to paint in, I also enjoy carrying around a small moleskine, it's just so handy! So, some years ago I decided to put together a pocket size watercolor kit for the moleskine. This is what I came up with.

The case is a samsonite camera case and the drawings are in black prismacolor pencils.
