there’s no need to have very expensive watercolour paints, but it is important to use something better than crayola. canson and strathmore are my favourite brandsĢ. i use only 140 lb paper for my serious watercolour works. printer paper is around 20 lbs, sketch pads will be about 60 lbs, IDEAL watercolour paper 140 lbs+). for the love of god do not use any paper under 110-120 lbs to paint with watercolour, a very VERY wet medium that will soak clean through the paper if it’s not thick enough (most paper pads sold at craft stores have the weight listed on them.

Some tips and tricks that have seriously helped me in excelling at watercolourġ.
