If you love beginner paint projects, you’re in the right place!
I have experimented with many mediums and techniques (like this beginner acrylic painting on wood slices tutorial), and have especially enjoyed my time trying watercolors!
Watercolor arts and crafts use minimal supplies, don’t require a lot of difficult techniques, and most are perfect for both kids and adults.
So, today, we’ll talk about some beginner watercolor supplies, and then I’ll share some easy watercolor art ideas from top DIY and craft bloggers!
What Do You Need for Watercolors?
If you are looking into doing some watercolor crafts, you are probably going to need minimal supplies.
You can click to the individual posts below to see what you need for each project, but, in short, if you are just looking to learn simple watercolor techniques, all you need is watercolor paper, watercolors and watercolor brushes.
Watercolor paper comes in various weights and sizes. You can try out different types of watercolor paper, but this is an inexpensive watercolor pad for beginners.
There are so many watercolor brushes out there! For the most part, a simple beginners set of watercolor brushes is all you need to get started.
What Watercolors are Best for Beginners?
For watercolors, you can either purchase watercolor pans or tubes of watercolors. The pans are less expensive, less messy, and perfect for beginners.
This is a great, inexpensive watercolor pan set for beginners.
