Watercolor Painting Tips – What Paint Should I Buy?

Just like oil and acrylic paint, there are also a variety of watercolor paints available to the beginner.

It is best to start out with a less expensive brand of watercolors in the beginning. As you become more experienced, you can then experiment with more expensive higher quality watercolor paints.

Here are a few recommendations for beginner watercolor artists:

Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolors

Grumbacher Academy Watercolors

I hope this has helped.  Enjoy and happy painting!

    In reply to Dawn about what watercolour paints to buy
    I would advise rather than buy student quality paint which is cheaper to buy
    Buy three tubes of Artist Quality paint
    Say Permanent Rose -Winsor Blue Red -Winsor Yellow
    With these three colours you will be able to mix a whole load of clear colours
    The student quality does not give the same mixing results
    I would be happy to advise on what colours to use and what they would produce if Dawn would like me to she can e-mail me via my web site
    Colour mixing is my passion
    Happy Painting Bev
