Watercolor Supplies Starter Kit

Starting watercolor can be exciting… until you start choosing your supplies.

Which paints should you buy? What paper actually makes a difference? Do you need expensive brushes? What does cotton, 300 gsm, staining, transparent, or granulating even mean?

With so many choices, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and even easier to spend money on supplies you don’t really need.

I created this guide to make choosing and understanding your watercolor materials much simpler.

Inside, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the three basics that have the biggest impact on your painting: watercolor paints, paper, and brushes.

What you’ll learn:

Watercolor Paints
Understand pigments and the properties that make colors behave differently. Learn about transparency, staining, granulation, opacity, and other important characteristics and how they affect your painting and color mixing.

Watercolor Paper
Learn the difference between cotton and cellulose paper, cold-pressed, hot-pressed and rough textures, different paper weights and gsm, and how to choose the right paper for your projects. You’ll also learn how to stretch watercolor paper to reduce buckling.

Watercolor Brushes
Understand the most useful brush shapes, sizes, and materials, what each brush is good for, and how to build a practical brush collection without buying every brush you see.

Plus: Paints Practice Workbook

This guide also includes a practical workbook to help you actually get to know your paints.

Instead of simply reading about transparency, staining, granulation, or color mixing, you’ll test your own paints, compare them, swatch them, and see how they behave on paper.

You’ll create your own paint reference that you can keep and return to whenever you’re choosing colors or starting a new painting.

No more guessing what to buy.

You don’t need the biggest paint set, dozens of brushes, or the most expensive paper to start enjoying watercolor.

You need to understand your materials and know what works for you.

This guide will help you choose smarter, avoid unnecessary purchases, understand why your materials behave the way they do, and feel much more confident when you sit down to paint.

Keep it as your personal watercolor reference and come back to it whenever you need it.
