If you'd like to join in, here are some items I'll be using - don't worry if you don't have these, it's just a guide for your reference:
Paper -
36x28cm, I recommend a cotton based paper, 300gsm - personally I prefer Saunders Waterford, Arches, Fabriano or even Bockingford. I use masking tape to keep it still on a board, which also leave a clean, crisp border once removed.
Brushes -
Flat Brush - I use 1 and 2 inch imitation squirell flat brushes made by Raphael
Medium/Large Mop Brush - perfect for big areas such as sky and foregrond. Squirell hair is best as it holds the most water.
Medium Synthetic Brush - something with a fine point for medium sized areas and smaller details, i use Escoda Perla's
Rigger Brush - a longer thin brush, perfect for branches, railings and long thin lines

Other Equipment -
Water Pot - I usually use two, one to wash pigment out of a brush, a 2nd to load up with clean water
Atomiser - a fine mist water spray
Tissue - helps to dry a brush if needed, mop up drips
Hairdryer - to speed up the drying process
Pencil - for preliminary sketch
Masking Fluid - I use Brisk Blue Fineliner masking fluid
Palette - with several large wells to ensure enough space for mixing
