KimSanDiego suggested a thread where resources from the conference could be posted - great idea!
Here are my nature journaling supplies I promised. Quick Disclaimer: This is what we use for painting in our nature journals out in the field, I am in no way saying these are the only or the best things available. This is just what we've come to use.
Windsor & Newton small paint set - learn to mix colors.
A little vial for water, or use one section of the lid for water
mechanical pencil - keeps a fine point
black water color paint (not in my palette and never black enough when I mix blue and brown)
gouache - transparent white paint
paper towel - for dabbing excess water
Pilot Fineliner pen - for writing in nature journal
Strathmore Visual Journal - 5.5 x 8 in mixed media journal 34 sheets spiral bound - small and lightweight enough to carry and thick paper to prevent bleed through.
hydroflask water bottle - keeps water ice cold for 24 hours
Carson microbrite lighted microscope - takes a little getting used to, inexpensive field microscope
field guides - laminated & folded so it's durable in the field, useful in field because not a lot of info on it, shows all the different types on one page for quick id. Here are a couple examples:
