SuppliesSketch pad, kneaded gum eraser, soft pencil (HB or softer), pencil sharpener, good student grade cold press watercolor paper pad, paper towels, a good sized water container, watercolor box or watercolor pallet to use with tube paints.BrushesAlways get the best brushes you can afford, they really make a difference. Recommended bush size: round #3, 6, 8, 12; flat 1/2”, 1”My personal favorites are Sax Arts & Crafts True Flow Golden TalonPaintThe quality of the paints you purchase will depend on your experience level. Beginners who are doing watercolor for the first time can get by with a good quality half pan set. Intermediate students are okay with student grade paints. More advanced students will like professional grade. I use Winsor & Newton tube watercolors.All you need is red, yellow and blue so don’t worry about getting the colors listed below if you have different ones already. The list is just a suggestion of basic colors.WatercolorsI like Winsor & Newton tube watercolors. The colors marked with * would be an excellent limited set.Cobalt Blue *Ultramarine Blue*Cadmium Yellow Yellow Ochre*Cadmium red med. Alizarin CrimsonWatercolor PaperThe best papers are expensive. Thickness varies from 72 lb. (thin) to 400 lb. (very thick). The poundage is based on the weight of a ream of 500 sheets. Cold press or rough student grade paper is fine for practice. I use 140 lb. cold press (rough). Hot press is more difficult to use.Art Suppliers:Michaels Arts and Crafts.
