I prefer the sheet form which comes in 22×30 which can be cut down to four ¼ sheets which is a good size for class work. Brushes : watercolor brushes are soft and made of sable, squirrel, ox hair, and many synthetics. The most important quality of the brush is that it springs back to shape when wet. Please bring at least one of each of the following brushes: 1 Flat Brush, #8 Round Brush, #3 Rigger Brush (thin brush with long hairs). Paint : I prefer watercolor paint in tubes. There are many very good brands of paint but what is important is to have a warm and cool of each primary color. Grumbacher Academy is a good inexpensive student grade brand. Cool Warm Red Alizarin Crimson Cad Red Light or Vermillion Blue Prussian Blue Ultramarine Blue Yellow Lemon or Cad Yellow Light Cad Yellow Medium Other useful colors: Paynes Gray, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Viridian, Thalo Crimson (pink) Palette : any white palette with a good mixing area or a plastic white plate (not foam) Board: This is support for your paper while you are painting so it should be waterproof.
