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

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.

I will show you what you need to get started.
