Im actually using a regular sketch book for watercolours, because I didn't have a particular one for watercolours, but it's pretty thick and acts like a regular watercolor sketch book

[@Lisbuns]

what brand is your sketchbook from ? :O

[@Lisbuns]

thank you!

[@jasmenalison1989]

Merailla i use drawing paper and creola water color and 3 paint brushes only

[@air___________________aa]

Merailla i think what you're using is mix media paper. it's thick and it can withstand watercolor

[@imogencrawf0rd979]

Merailla I use mixed media paper because I can use it for other mediums and mainly watercolor cause it's cheap but I usually get mine if amazon

[@gustinlawis2997]

A very useful video for someone who doesn't have any idea about watercolour supplies like me! Thanks

[@necipaydn5347]

Got the supplies, I just need the talent 😭

[@starrynight5207]

[@miikyuute]

You don‘t need talent you just need your supplies and the motivation to practise! I‘m cheering for you😄💜

[@janea30]

lale same

[@farklefuster6876]

flirtae e Talent is persistence combined with constant learning. Don’t beat yourself up. It takes time and many false starts to achieve a good painting.

[@jayparks_honey588]

Got the talent, I just need the supplies 😭

[@ByzCSGO]

For the palette, you could also just use a ice cube form thingy

[@Alo-re2xt]

Neo Logic this is so smart. I didn't think of that

[@RealTalkWithSSG]

You mean ice tray. :) And thanks for the idea, it's really good!

[@aquartzy5418]

Ooh nice idea 😄

[@agatebanecroft5239]

Personally i dont like them because the paint can just pop out, but it is a nice thought.

[@Sophsenn]

Neo Logic i use a clear plastic binder divider w/our the pocket it actually works quite well

[@TheLordsPrecious]

Probably the best darn video I've seen on this subject.

[@studioofmm]

+Trinican Bee haha, thank you :)

[@DonWood]

Thanks I learned stuff that will make my new hobby a bit easier to kickstart. I am in a wheelchair so need the information before heading out to make my purchases. I already do a bit of drawing so watercolour is my next adventure.

[@studioofmm]

+Don Wood good luck! Glad the video helped you :)

[@chloeyi5702]

For a water disk u can use half a plastic water bottle because the bottom has ridges that clean the brushes as well and the edge is sharp so you can get the perfect amount of water.

[@DrDtArda]

[@kastrianna1130]

[@Lena-pk8mx]

This video is so amazing! I’m glad I found this, I’m a beginner and I honestly had no clue what I was doing or what I needed. Thank you so much for the helpful tips! 💙💜😍

[@leilahucker5326]

My school has hundreds of those "wheel" cheap watercolours and i personally love them, but literally everyone messes them up by mixing the colours and ruining the white, come on people!!

[@zafirawu7663]

Leilicorn SAME I literally started like 2 days ago so I'm only using the really cheap stuff form the dollar store. But soon I'm gonna get the wheel coz I love em

[@Sophsenn]

Leilicorn ugh the white never actually stays white

[@slushiepaper]

If you wet the watercolors you can just wipe off the mixed colors from the actual colors

[@ibenjensen4233]

Leilicorn has

[@PapiChulo-xl8ou]

Same thing used to happen in my old school but I used to just wipe all the colours and tell people whoever’s working with me better not mix the paints

[@brucesuelzle8562]

Thank you so much for sharing. Well edited with lots of great information.

[@ElleLizzyMay]

I am keen to start watercolouring. I only do little bits in my cardmaking but I just want to paint!!! I loved your video and have subscribed to your channel. You are clear and concise, and offer real helpful advice. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching more and more of your videos. From rural Western Australia g'day! Elle

[@eARThinlife]

This was really helpful! I like how you showed materials that are cheap. Thanks

[@sharonandersen3669]

Thanks! That was clear, informative and there was no time wasted in the instruction.

[@artaddict7513]

"You can use something you don't drink out of like, a mug, Mason jar." *Me:* uh..I drink out of mason jars...

[@studioofmm]

I meant it as more of a ‘use something specifically for painting’. As in not something you’re going to try and drink out of later. Just safer that way. Paint can have some pretty serious ingredients that you definitely don’t want to be consuming.

[@stephaniem999]

I use regular cardstock, random brushes i already had, an egg crate as a palette, and an inexpensive set of tube watercolors from Michaels. It all works fine. I appreciate your thoughts but it's important to acknowledge that, even if you are going to stick with it, beginners make a lot of mistakes and waste paint no matter how careful they are or how many videos they watch. We don't need expensive products starting out (actually, I'm happy enough with my inexpensive set to think that once I get a handle on the pigment I still won't need anything better). For those beginners that are making a hobby/destressor out of it it's absolutely unnecessary to have some of those really expensive items.

[@nataliewathen8955]

this video was super helpful for someone who wants to get into watercolors and wants to know what is quality and some cheap alternatives.

[@underslept4098]

I regret watching this right after Christmas ;-;

[@louiejanedorian2825]

Why?

[@unicornattacke6684]

Just buy it if you want it.

[@noraasmethane8736]

feel u but my Birthday is soon so imma use the chance and buy some art stuff that i dont really need atm TT especially the expensive ones ;)

[@leatarngren874]

I’m really excited to try these since I love drawing but I wanna take it to the next level❤️

[@lvmylord54]

I love the Royal line of brushes!

[@PanosTheo]

i'm a beginner and i've been experimenting with watercolors for almost 3 months. i study architecture and it comes in handy for the conceptual part of the presentation and for ideas. i've tried both pans and tubes and as beginner i highly recommend the pan version of watercolors. the paint is more manageable and you can bring it everywhere with you. i found myself being more aware about the quantity of the paint that i used with pans, because i could see how much was left. that's just my personal preference. as for the paint sets, i also own the winsor&newton pocket set and it's beautiful. so easy to work with and so compact. definitely a must-try.

[@24karatramen93]

I use a normal sketchbook and it works very well, but it depends on the brand i think.😊

[@jazlyn0613]

It just depends on the weight. Your paper probably is 100lb or higher and thats why it works well

[@lucky-op6dx]

Thanks! This is a great vid. I can’t wait to get started on watercolours. I couldn’t find the right equipment anywhere before. :)

[@micaela0370]

I was trying to find out where to get some winsor and newton watercolor pans and this video helped me a lot! Definitely will be heading to Michaels tomorrow :)

[@victoriavvc]

I needed to get some watercolors for a project, but I knew I wanted to get into them more... So this video really helped me pick some brushes and a watercolor set. I chose a cotman set of 24 half pans. It's a good bang for your buck

[@miami9675]

I'am using acrylic paints for quite a while and wanted to try different kinds of medium your vids are very helpful thanks a lot

[@caropaul4659]

I use mixed media XL canson paper and it works great

[@Mads-zo1ic]

Your channel is just so incredible! 😊 seriously, you deserve way more subscribers

[@studioofmm]

+madi donna thank you 😊

[@maaizelaa]

If you can't afford watercolor paper you can use a canson regular sketchbook, the pages are not THAT resistant to water but you can paint without problem. And depend of the sizes of the sketchbook you can take it everywhere you go 😁 I do this and have watercolor paper for paintings that people ask me to do for them or something like that, but that depends of you✌

[@Skinnychelle48]

I use a clip board to clip and tape my paper to, easy to find and inexpensive. I gave a regular size one and a small one.

[@dannahpaquibot5752]

Is just me but she sounds a bit like gigi hadid 😍

[@margarettelim7386]

yazz

[@stephaniegee7024]

Yes definitely

[@poopoopeepee3201]

are sakura koi watercolors good?

[@SilverNachtmahr]

Yuliana Maldonado they're just a student-grade watercolor. Better than the crayola or prang, so pretty good to start with. :)

[@poopoopeepee3201]

woot woot ooooh ok ok thank you! but its still worth it right?

[@SilverNachtmahr]

I haven't tried them out, so I can't say. I'm really sorry :(

[@poopoopeepee3201]

woot woot oh its okay, thank you though!

[@SoVuS777]

I really dislike Koi but thats because I have high expectations from watercolors. Koi paints are pretty good for a beginner, you can also consider Cotman (by Winsor and newton) as your first watercolors. Anyway, these two are the cheapest and probably best sets to start with.

[@paulinebello1919]

i want to buy watercolor supplies especially brushes... the only problem is the brushes.. I don't know how to buy brushes either that brush is good or not ... and one more thing i dont know what brush number i will buy.... so i need your help☺☺☺

[@studioofmm]

+Pauline Bello always look for brushes that are designed to handle water/ watercolours. Synthetic brushes are generally the way to go. As for size I recommend starting off with something for fine detail (size 2 or smaller) a general size like 6 or 8 and then something a little larger if you're planning on doing large washes of colour (size 10 or 12). That's of course specifically talking about round brushes.

[@JewelsFromVenus]

I do mainly acrylic so I need stiffer brushes.. I have been told if it feels soft enough to apply make up with then it is better for water colors..softer brushes dont push acrylic around too well and I was sad the first pack of brushes I bought were very soft, lol.. Now I am glad to have them since I'm wanting to experiment with the water colors so it was a happy accident after all

[@jessicaignacio2863]

STAY AWAY FROM THE ARTIST'S LOFT BRUSHES!

[@___pollene2534]

idk bout u but i start off with three sizes, small, medium, and large so i wont have to switch between lots of brushes. go with 2, 6, and 10.

[@parklia4529]

I loved the water colour wheel!!

[@bonafideborafate1202]

Please do a art supply collection video!

[@Sam-eq3ot]

Do you have any tips on starting off to become passionate in art? I am very passionate and try my very best but sometimes I question my ability and wonder how to become better. Thank you! :)

[@studioofmm]

+Samantha Rainbow I wrote a fairly lengthy post about it here: studioofmm.tumblr.com/post/144121179999/artmotivation Hope it helps! :)

[@Sam-eq3ot]

Thanks! :)

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

I'm wanting to get into watercolors and this video was very helpful since I know absolutely nothing about watercolors..like I did not know the difference between a watercolor pad and a block(something good to know for future reference)..the only experience I had with watercolors was in grade school and I disliked those SO much,they were horrid..but I'm learning that there's much more to watercolors and I've seen some beautiful art done with them..thanks for this video it was very helpful to me 😊

[@shanna257]

I've been painting with watercolor for a while now and I might need to get that color wheel for traveling. I'm not a big fan of cakes either but it would be nice just to grab and take with a water brush.

[@studioofmm]

+Haruka Nanase yeah, the Sakura Koi pallets are great to travel with too if you're really not into the cakes. Not as compact but still really good. I'm not sure about the smaller size pallets but the 24 colour one has space to fit the parts of a water brush into.

[@averyirwin2670]

This was so useful, thank you so much

[@studioofmm]

+AveryNoodle glad it helped! :)

[@midnightriot2454]

A tip for anyone who may not know, if you draw with a graphite pencil band you don't want the lines before you paint dab white or blue tac (I am from the UK so I am not sure if it is called different else where) over your lines and it lifts the graphite up without actually erasing the lines!

[@Jpgmd-hs8sg]

Omg i just bought this watelcorol paper and this video popped on my recomendation 😂

[@elisaklonhammer9490]

Thank you so much for this vid, I wanted to start painting but had no idea of what I needed😂😅

[@pluvio5]

this was such a helpful video!! thank you so much!

[@biancamitchell484]

Instead of masonite, because even I'm not sure where to get that, one of my other favourite yt artist made hers out of foam core (also called foam board in Australia) and laminated it in clear packing tape. I did this myself and it works perfectly, it's cheap, and it's waterproof! Plus you can make some in different sizes, like A4 or A3.

[@KenStentiford]

Yesterday I was looking at upgrading my wc paints and at my local art store the range I want is Daniel Smith, sold individually, they start at 27$ and quickly go up, with the price quickly jumping, the most expensive 56. That's NZ$, in terms, NZ 1.0 equal to 1.5 US. I think there is close to 250 colours, amazing range, amazing colour, but do the math, it would be over 10k to have the range.

[@MKANDRESTINPEACE]

Great video for begginers no fanci 30 dollar arches as a requirement for beginner

[@wishingformorewishes8786]

:0 for my water jug I use half of a water bottle so that I have those little ridges at the bottom that can clean the brushes. Also I just use an unopened picture frame covered with the original plastic as a pallete lmao

[@Sophsenn]

Wishing for more wishes I use random jars and a plastic binder divider😂

[@jeremyg371]

thx for the input, I'm going the cheap, cheap and cheap route and so far have been very impressed and that's with my junky set up, can't wait to dive into as I go further and get nicer paints. thx for the video, I will be picking up some winsor & nuetons in the future.

Watercolor for beginners (recommends winsor newton watercolor) Ksksksk a good substitute is the koi watercolor set get in many sizes or gansai tanmbi set also available in many sizes ;)

[@similarteacher]

[@BTS-jb5fm]

I agree with ball point pen because I used it once when my pigment liner wasn't working

[@agatebanecroft5239]

I use mixed media canson sketch books because it thicc enough to work for watercolours and I can use all my other weird mediums.

[@monicabaliber5058]

[@unknownymous5570]

How do you replace watercolor pans when you ran out of paint? Do you buy another set or just buy each piece pf color?

[@studioofmm]

+ugh nonymous you can buy the tubed version of the same colour and refill the pan; just let the paint dry and it's as good as new. Some companies do sell the pan refills but it's much easier to find the tubes and do it yourself.

[@GhostPredatorX]

Thanks for the tutorial.. Good suggestions!

[@syuuuun]

I'm okay at oil and acrylic but I'm so clueless when it comes to watercolours O^O Can I use my acrylic brushes for watercolour?

[@studioofmm]

+Last Survivor it depends on the type of brush; some synthetic brushes that are generally meant for acrylic paint can also work with watercolour but the main key to actual watercolour brushes is their ability to hold and disperse the water and pigment. Other types of brushes will just soak it all up like a sponge which is not what you want to have happen, haha.

[@mussethecat.7020]

Bottom thing to clean your brush…. That is a plate for hama beads. Uhh, I only have a star shaped one😂 it will do. Great tip.

thanks for making the video! it's cool you included everything needed even what pros consider "obvious" like a container or some wood to put the paper on and be able to rotate the canvas etc.. things that beginners won't think of buying.

[@sallycooley7650]

extra tip: if you dont want pencil sketch lines showing through try sketching in watercolor pencil because it completely diffuses with water

[@Skinnychelle48]

Great video!

[@SelVanaShow]

i like how the brushes are clear! where can i find those exact brushes?

[@studioofmm]

+Sel you might be able to find them cheaper somewhere else depending on where you're from but here's a set of them on amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00114LQPC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1462745964&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=royal+langnickel+soft+grip&dpPl=1&dpID=51ga9yCxfzL&ref=plSrch

Hi! I need recommendations for Art Supplies. My budget is 200 dollars and the stuff I need are sketch pencils (9H to 9B+) Sketch pads/books, Marker/skin tone markers, Gelly roll pens, Drawing pens, Erasers, and watercolor paints (pans) thank you in advance ;3

[@ailinr9385]

SuTech Gaming you can usually go to art stores and get individual drawing pencils. I would say for the markers, the tombows are fairly inexpensivebut water soluble, but you can also get flesh tone markers on amazon. For the watercolors, a 12 set of cotman or maybe a koi set. Paper is fairly inexpensive. I would say go look on amazon, there's some really good deals. It's where I get everything but my paper.

Catqueen 2107 you can, theoretically. However, watercolor paper is the best to use, watercolor paper won’t leak through! My cheapest (yet best bang for your buck) is Canson XL watercolor paper, you can get a 9x12 pad of 30 sheets for about 6$ US! I personally LOVE this paper and it’s super cheap! Good luck!

I just subbed. I am starting with the watercolor wheel, tit's koh-i-noor from Amazon, and I got a 3 pk of waterbrushes. I am wondering what you think of the super cheap 25 Lowe-Cornell wc brush set...its so inexpensive, if ten of them were good, it would be worth it, but I dont want shedding. I dont have a major craft store where I live so I rely on YT reviews. Do you know anything about those large bundles where the price is ridiculously low?

[@studioofmm]

+TerrieJ DimestoreDivaTV unfortunately I haven't tried them so I can't really say whether they're good or not but I would be concerned about shedding. That's why I always recommend the Royal & Langnickel soft grip brushes; they are a great cross between affordability and quality. They aren't as inexpensive as the cheap multi brush packs but they'll last you quite some time and I've never had an issue with shedding.

[@ynnkh]

can you use mix media paper for watercolors?

[@power-oe7tr]

Of course,its mixed media so it can take many art suppliues

[@studioofmm]

+Yanniek H yes, just be aware that it's not as thick as watercolour paper so it has the possibility of warping more.

I got really nervous when you said about ball points being waterproof cause the last time my notes got wet and yep, they spread

[@studioofmm]

+Honesty_JustMe Alone it might have something to do with the paper because standard ball point pen after it's set on watercolour paper isn't going to budge when you paint over it.

Thanks u ...very good tips u GV helps me ....

[@engrkmcb]

Hello! I'm pretty confused on what number and type (ex. Flat, round, etc,.) of brush should I buy. What brush type/number can you recommend for beginners like me? Thank you! 😊

[@studioofmm]

+Krizza Bucsit I'd say go for all round brushes to start unless you think you're really going to get use out of a flat brush. As for sizes, I'd recommend something fairly small (0 or 2) to have to do fine details, a good all over brush like a 6 and maybe something larger like a 10 or 12 for washes. I guess it depends on how many brushes you want to look at getting to start with.

[@engrkmcb]

Thank you so much for your reply! Looking forward to see more of your art works 😊😊

[@Sophia-we6yh]

Yeah ballpoint pens are the best
