Sketchbook
Be sure to have a sketchbook with pencils for making small thumbnail sketches. 3 different values of grey markers (such as Copic markers) are always a plus but not required.
Canvas:
I typically use a gessoed birch panel or gessoed canvas. I usually brush on at least one coat of acrylic gesso or primer. Some heavy textured canvases might require more than one coat (it depends on the texture you prefer). I brush on the gesso cris-crossing the texture, let it dry, then sand between coats. My typical sizes for painting en plein air range from 8×10 to 16×20. Always choose what suits you best. My most popular size that I use the most is 11×14.

Outdoor Easel:
I personally use a Daytripper easel from prolificpainter.com. I also recommend any kind of pochade box mounted on a camera tripod or a sturdy French easel. Use what you have available.
You will also need some type of canister filled with water to clean your brushes along with a rag or paper towels.
