Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a dedicated post that I pin to the top of the page showing the supplies I use for tutorials for your reference.

Feel free to use any supplies that work for you, but I know a lot of people want to know what I’m using, especially paint so they can match the colors.

Paper: arches 140lb coldpress 100% cotton watercolor paper

Paint: the picture is letter sparrow, but I also use winsor and Newton in these same colors

Brushes: these are Princeton brand, but any brand will be great. My size 4 is “long” but a regular size 4 is perfect

Gouache: I don’t use often, but any brand will work. I found this one in an art shop in Croatia so I’m not sure where to get it 😅

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank You!!

What is the difference in a 4 long brush and a four short. I recently cut all my long round long (cheap) brushes of to short length. I find I have more control with the short length.

Kristin Van Leuven

Not too much difference, the bristles feel springier with the length but I think they are almost the same

Kristin Van Leuven

It is! Kelly from Letter Sparrow put her handmade paint in their palettes

Some recommendations for white gouache brands: W&N, Da Vinci, and M. Graham are available in large tubes and are relatively inexpensive in the US :) Permanent or Titanium white are the fully opaque white colors, and Zinc white is more transparent (equivalent to "Chinese White" watercolor).

Thank you!! This looks like a great palette :) Sap green is one of my most used colors and I want to try to use indigo more!

Denise

This is super helpful. I like to know what to expect and to be prepared. This ticks both boxes.

Diane

I don't have gouache. I've been using white acrylic... is there a big difference?

Your cerulean blue and sap green look so different from mine. I'm using the Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolor set with the whole pans. Are you using tube paint instead of the pans? Can't understand why the colors seem so off from yours. Thanks!

Heather Henry

I'm using the Winsor & Newton Professional tubes of cerulean blue and sap green and I was thinking the same thing. They seem lighter and less saturated than what Kristin is using. I wonder if Manganese Blue Hue and Oxide of Chromium from W&N might be closer to hers.

Hi, Just joined your patreon. I am a brand new to watercolor painting. I had used Sakura Koi paints on mixed media paper because thats what I had and was getting frustrated with my results so I wanted to upgrade paper, paint, and brushes. I found a set of 11 brand new Princeton Aqua Elite brushes and a 12 color split primary plus set of WN prof paints ( also new) on ebay for really cheap. What do you think of the Aqua Elite brushes? Will they work Ok for me just starting out?

I was just thinking of posting about this. I use the Windsor and Newton professional tube paints (same as Kristin recommends) and my colors are so less saturated than Kristin’s.
