A Gift Guide for Beginner Watercolor Artists
If you know of anyone that is interested in learning watercolor, this Christmas season might be the perfect time to get some of the supplies they will need! These were the supplies that I started out with when I was learning watercolor, and I was able to freely practice without sweating about how much $$ was spent on the supplies. Professional supplies are almost always going to produce the best results, but these are very decent quality for the price point! They are not the cheapest supplies on the market—I never recommend doing that because the results can be frustrating while you’re trying to learn—but they don’t break the bank either! I hope this gift guide with shoppable links is helpful for you as you shop for that aspiring artist this season!
