Art Lessons by Captain Watercolor

There are just a few tools you need for watercolor painting, but there are a few.

 

A palette is some kind of rig where you set out your paints, and mix them together. There are lots of them on the market, and there a a few ways to create them with stuff around the house.

 

You absolutely need a pencil and eraser, but only one kind of each is good for watercolor.

 

We watercolorists do a lot of lifting and scraping of paint. The best tools for this are a plain old credit card and a plastic spoon.
