Hi Watercolor friends! Here are the supplies that I recommend for watercolor painting. Reach out if you have any questions, OR if you have a favorite that I should try out!! I am an art supply person and love to talk shop.
If you’re looking to shop locally, check out the Blick in Roswell – they have the most watercolor supplies that I’ve seen in Metro-Atlanta with a huge selection of very fun things!

Complete Paint Sets
Individual Paint Tubes – my favorite brands. This is realistically how I buy paint, one tube at a time. They last for a while. You can buy them in small (5ml) or large (15ml) sized tubes – I normally start with a small tube if it is a new color to me. I buy large tubes if I am replacing a smaller tube that I used all of the paint.
If you are just starting, it is better to have a smaller set of higher quality paints. I do not recommend this kind of thing, which I often see people bring. If you want that style of palette, and you’d like all the colors, try this full set from Kuretake Gansai Tambi.
