The results of your Watercolor paintings depend a lot on the materials you use. Quality watercolor paper, Quality watercolor paint, Quality watercolor brushes, Quality watercolor books, Quality watercolor lessons make all the difference. As you see it is all about quality and that’s why I will post accessory here with high quality professional watercolor supplies with the best price available.

Quality Watercolor Brush

Sable watercolor brushes are considered the ultimate in watercolor brushes because of the fine point the hairs reach, their ability to spring back into shape, and the amount of water and paint they hold. The cheaper brushes are a mixture of sable and synthetic hairs or complete synthetic brushes. Contrary to paint, you could start with the cheaper watercolor brushes and upgrade as you become more of a professional.

Quality Watercolor Paper

Watercolor papers come in three instances:

  • rough, which has a textured surface
  • hot-pressed or HP, which has a fine-grained, smooth surface
  • cold-pressed (or NOT), which has a slightly textured surface and is the paper used most often by watercolor artists.

Quality Watercolor Paint

Watercolor paints come in tubes or pans (small cakes). Pans are usually cheaper, but tend to dry out you can try adding water to get them going again though. Pans are ideal for small areas of color and watercolor sketching. Paint in tubes has to be squeezed onto a palette watercolor tubes are easier to use for large areas of color e.g. washes. Like mentioned on the paint page there is a  big difference between the quality of the different kinds of paint rather buy a few quality paints than many cheap watercolors.

Quality painting easels

Now a painting easel is (can be) a rather big investment but I can tell you it is so much easier painting on a reliable and firm painting easel then on any home made support attempt. Even for the times you go painting plein air it is good to have a outdoors painting easel to help you make the best of your plein air adventure. You will be surprised on how much more quality you get when using a painting easel.
