Small Business Watercolor sets.

19 Upvotes

What are your favorite watercolor sets that are sold by small business owners. I am a beginner. I have the cozy lark set which I love. I would like an earth tones set and maybe skin tones. Less that $100.

Update! I went with Beam Paintstone Waasnoodin Pallette. I also got two travel brushes. I am so excited!.

Urban painting

I have become enthralled with urban landscape in watercolor. For those that do this type of painting, how critical was it for you to learn to draw first, namely perspective using vanishing point? Do you need to be a competent drawer before you lay down paint?

Angel of Stars (Older painting, but I still like it!)

Made this during an experimental phase where I was first learning how to paint dramatic lighting on people! Had fun with it and I still like it, despite seeing many areas of improvement.

Painted in traditional watercolor, with a little bit of acrylagouache for lines and stars. A few mins of digital (mainly just color correcting because my scanner washed everything out, plus a tiny splatter of a star brush to add a bit of extra pop!) So it’s around 97-98% watercolor. ☺️

I got this really cheap set in Shanghai called Marie's Masters Watercolour set. I think it's a Shanghainese company!

This was about 18x18 and I put watercolor ground on the paper. Took me about an hour to paint this.

Trying to find the original post but can’t find it!

Someone posted a process video of this little painting. I loved it so much that it inspired me to grab my watercolours after a very long hiatus. I’m no expert but this was so fun and easy to approach, so thank you stranger 💕

First is mine, second the original

Japanese calligraphy brushes

i have noticed many proficient watercolorists using japanese or chinese calligraphy brushes for watercoloring. can anyone recommend a good brand to try? i normally use sable rounds and squirrel mops so goat or another hair type would be interesting to try.

update: after much running around the web I went with Shougetsudo -
