Keep only materials that earn their place in a short session.

Begin with the real constraint
Keep only materials that earn their place in a short session. The aim is a small setup you can actually complete, not a larger collection of equipment. Lay out what you already have and notice the step that creates friction before changing anything.
Check the fit before going further
A case or cart is useful if it protects brushes and keeps paper flat, but dimensions need checking. Conditions and specifications vary, so treat this as a question to verify with the relevant maker, venue or source when it applies. A quick trial with the actual objects is more useful than a promise based on a photograph.
Finish where the next session begins
Test the storage sequence once: open, paint, dry, put away. Take a moment to check that the result is accessible, safe for your situation and simple to repeat. If it still feels cumbersome, reduce the scope before adding a new purchase.
