Minimalist Watercolor Supply List

New to watercolor? Lost in the sea of watercolor supplies?

Equipped with the supplies in this guide, you’ll be able to start painting right away, without wasting time in the supply rabbit hole. 

These are the exact supplies I use and really, the only supplies you need - a minimalist list of quality supplies with budget friendly options.

I've also included a fluff-free crash course on the basics of paper, paint and brushes so you understand why I recommend what I do.

I’ll show you how to harness my 333 Method by teaching you 3 watercolor principles, 3 watercolor properties, and my 3-step painting process (with my 13 favorite techniques), so you can simplify your supply list, know exactly what to do when you sit down to paint, and understand how watercolor works so you can experience the joy of painting.
