You will need:

• Notebook: We used the Mont Marte Visual Art Diary Spiral Bound White Paper A4 110gsm 120 Sheet. This 120 white page Visual Diary features 110gsm paper, is spiral bound and backed by a heavyweight card to provide a sturdy surface. These diaries are fantastic for keeping track of creative ideas and are suitable for use with a wide range of dry sketching media, as well as creative note-taking and brainstorming.
• POSCA Pens: We used the Uni Ball Posca Pastel Paint Pens 2.5mm PC5M 8 Pack - Assorted Colours. This Uni-Ball Posca Paint Pens set features 8 pens with a Medium 2.5 mm Bullet Tip and are loaded with highly-pigmented lightfast ink. The colours included in the set are white, sunshine yellow, apricot, light pink, coral pink, lavender, light blue, and aqua green. The free-flowing lucid ink is a water-based formula that’s quick-drying and waterproof and can write with ease on virtually any surface. Its ink is permanent on porous surfaces and removable on smooth surfaces such as glass, metal or plastic. 

POSCA Paint Marker Pen features:

• A unique valve mechanism that guarantees a perfect seal for the marker and conserves the paint over time
• Rich, pigmented ink
• A sealed cap that easily identifies the colour of the marker
• Water-soluble, so water can be added before the marker is dry to create a range of effects
• Mixable colours
• Layerable 
• Can be used on wood, glass, fabric, leather, ceramic, paper, plastic, metals, rocks and more!
