If you are just starting out an inexpensive watercolor set will do
perfectly fine for the things you want to do. Most of the below
watercolor sets have a good selection of basic colors you’ll need for
your watercolor painting. The watercolor set you choose will be fit for
your purpose.
A good thing to do is to buy a watercolor set containing watercolor cakes
(pans) and another watercolor set of tubes. Then once you get your feet
wet in watercoloring you can move to the more professional watercolors
and you will know which you prefer tubes or pans.
I found some very good watercolor sets that are all in a different
price range so for all you guys and girls some watercolor set will be
alright.

Yarka Professional
Watercolor Set
This watercolor set is compact, in a neat plastic case, yet it contains
the same broad palette of traditional colors that the great masters
were using a century ago. It includes a printed color chart, and 24
pans, each one rated for lightfastness. Pans can be replaced
individually to keep the set intact and complete.

Prang Watercolor Set
Prang watercolors are still manufactured according to the true,
semi-moist formula that has made Prang famous. The result is a
brilliantly transparent paint.
These watercolors are packaged in practically unbreakable hard plastic
cases. Each watercolor set is available in oval or square half-pans and
contains a #9 brush (do not expect to much of this brush ).
