One thing watercolorists should never forget when painting outdoors is a bottle of water.  Water to paint with, that is.  I always pack a bottle for painting and another for drinking.  But when we are outdoors, we often face a situation where we need more clean water than we brought.  Sometimes it's readily available but sometimes we have to look really hard.

I have used water from a kitchen of a nearby restaurant, somebody's backyard, a sprinkler head in a public park, a canal, a mountain stream, etc.  Sometimes a friend who's painting with me spared some.  Here at Mercato del Pesce, a fish market by the Rialto bridge in Venice, a kind fisherman saw me with an empty brush container, and poured water from the hose he was using to clean his fish.
