These are the paints, brushes, paper and tools I use in my watercolour classes, including Natural Wonders Watercolours, The Art of Seeing, and A Love Affair with Colour.

I've included options to curate your kit, including standard and premium investments.

Links are to Amazon products. Feel free to order online or use these products to source from your local art supply shop.

In addition to a jar of water and paper towel, each kit should include the following:

Paint (watercolour pan sets are already in palettes, whereaas tubes require a separate palette)
Brushes (in class we use a #6 or #8 round, sometimes a 1/2"-1" flat)
Paper (I use a pad of standard cold press watercolour paper 140lb/300g, but 100% cotton has best results
If travelling, see Travel Supplies List below Essential Watercolour Supplies

Watercolour Paints:

In class we use a custom palette with premium Daniel Smith watercolours for best results and experience. See Dry Pans below for the best ready to go option. To recreate exactly what we use in studio, I will add a Custom Studio Kit soon, but it's not necessary to make such a large investment. The ready make sets are a great starter set.
