I’m often asked what kind of watercolors I use. I use Prang watercolors. They are the only tray watercolors that I know of that are worth painting with. I realize I’m stuck in 5th grade art class. I don’t know why I’ve never transitioned to tube watercolors. Anyway, when you run out of a color in your tray you can order refills! I tend to run out of blue and black the fastest.  There are a lot of watercolor options out there. I suggest trying a few kinds and seeing which you like best. Just avoid “student quality” paints. I bought a tube or two of student quality watercolor, and they were terrible. They turned to chalk on the paper after they dried.

    Some tips from Gabby on what type of paint she uses! Brilliant for those into watercolour (like myself).

  3. koozbane said: I use the same!! They’re the only ones that give me the opacity I crave while still being completely workable, if that makes any sense. My ‘artist’ friends alway look at me as though I’m totally nuts.
