Winsor & Newton is one of the most trusted names in watercolor supplies, and its Cotman sub-brand is perfect for beginners. It offers the same quality the company is known for but at a much lower price point. For example, you can find very affordable, student-grade paints and low-budget sets for children. But prices will go up if you’re dipping your toes into professional-grade watercolors. Paint simple shapes around your dry piece of watercolor paper. I chose circles, stars, and a moon, but you can choose any simple shape you like. Triangles, diamonds, hearts, and squares can work, too. This means that you’re getting the highest level of lightfastness, as well as vivid colors and a smooth finish.

You can change blobs into birds or cats, adding details, eyes, beak, wing, tail and/or whiskers and can transform that blob into something awesome!"

Watercolour painting is a popular form of painting for beginners. As well as being easy to get started, you don’t need many materials, it’s portable so you can do it anywhere (perfect for holidays!) and painting also promotes mindfulness.Watercolor painting is one such activity that everyone loves. Both beginner and professional artists love the activity alike. On the one hand, for professional artists, it is a means to draw down their thoughts and emotions. For beginners, it just brings them happiness when their portrait starts making some sense. Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolor sets are sold in various forms, such as tubes, half pans, and full pans. Water: Of course! Tap water is fine, but if you’re feeling fancy, distilled water helps maintain pigments’ original color and texture.

This set includes one Sennelier watercolor brush and 12 Sennelier L’Aquarelle Watercolor 10ml tubes in a handy metal container with two fold-out palettes. In your second rectangle, just add dabs of paint. This activity is great for beginning to gauge the amount of water and paint you prefer to use. Many of the best watercolor sets featured above come with a small brush, but you’ll want to invest in several more for your artwork. These can have wooden, plastic, or acrylic handles with either synthetic or natural fibers. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t give good results! Any watercolor set for beginners from a top brand will have vibrant colors and reasonable lightfastness ( watercolor paint isn’t the most lightfast overall!). If you are a beginner, or just want to test your hand a watercolor painting, student quality should be just fine. You may not even notice much difference to begin with, and it will be lighter on your wallet.Gouache is very similar to watercolor since they both use natural water-based binders, such as gum arabic. However, gouache paint has a much higher pigment load, creating a more opaque look. In simple words, permanence is the durability of paints when exposed to light and humidity. The permanence of watercolor paints depends highly on the quality of pigments and how much fillers (if any) are used in the paints to cut down the cost. Buy artists’s quality watercolour as much as possible as it generally lasts longer than student’s quality but only take home the colours you need to ensure you get the most out of your money.
