In conjunction with George Town Festival 2012, sketchers from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok and Penang are invited for a mega sketchwalk. There will be an exhibition held after that featuring the sketches drawn on site.

This is going to be exciting because it's the first time I'm traveling with a big group of 20 friends from Urban Sketchers Singapore. There we'll meet even more friends who share the joy of sketching.

I'll be gone from July 6 - 10, but the blog will be updated daily with photos from the event while I'm at Penang.

Here's a sketch of the items I'm going to bring. In an order that's roughly left to right, top to bottom:

• WN Cotman watercolour paper, 9 by 12 inch
• Daler Rowney watercolour paper. 10 by 10 inch
• A5 spiral sketchbook
• Small folding stool
• 750ml waterbottle
• Sling bag to fit all these stuff
• Lamy fountain pen
• Hero fountain pen
• 0.5 mechanical pencil
• Pentel Clic eraser
• Da Vinci pocket brush size 4 and 6
• Modified VPen fountain pen
• Waterbrush
• WN watercolour box with 20 pans
• Pelikan Fount India ink
• Camera and extra batter and memory card
• iPad with camera connector
• Clothes

There's not much stuff. I should be able to squeeze them all into the sling bag I'm using. I like to travel light.
