Very Beginners Workshop Supply List
Watercolors supplies can be expensive so you may find it helpful to find
a partner to share paints. To share paints, they can be put into the palette wells and allowed to
dry. I do this with most of mine anyway.
I recommend Winsor Newton or equivalent (Holbein, Graham, Daniel Smith, Miemeribu, etc,).
For best results, I do not recommend buying cheap paints. You can call me for advice.
