My favorite gouache supplies
As we don’t all have the same budget and needs, you have three options for each:
Beginner, medium, and advanced, from left to right.
Watercolor Journal
This one has a watercolor paper 300 gsm, cold press, 24 pages, with an elastic band. Perfect for plein air.
Stilman & Birn Zeta Series
Softcover, very soft paper, almost like bristol, white paper, 270 gsm, a strong binding that allows you to paint across two pages and stays flat open.
Strathmore Watercolor Sketchbook
A large sketchbook, A4 size, 48 pages, watercolor paper 300 gsm, a bit of texture, I love it!
Arteza set of 24 colors
Yes, it’s a lot of colors, but as a beginner, you’ll love it. Good quality for a student’s grade and is a good price too.
Holbein primary set
Only 5 colors, as it’s time to learn how to mix yours. Artist quality, a good price for the quality. My paint review.
Holbein full primaries set
Now you have warm and cool primary colors, plus a lot of white for mixes and burnt umber for convenience color. Ready-made sets are not ideal, so I made one just for you!
