PAINTS and BRUSHES:

BEGINNERS / CASUAL Painters:

The brushes in these basic sets are rather useless, please do not use them even as a first time watercolorist.

BRUSHES:  Winsor-Newton COTMAN Size 0, 3 and 6 Pointed Rounds would be a good starter set.  (A size 1 and 5 if you prefer to only purchase two brushes).  
Add a larger brush such as a size 10 if that suits your painting style.  Despite not being Artists Grade, COTMAN is a good quality brush at a reasonable price).  Best price on dickblick.com.

EXPERIENCED Watercolorists and ENTHUSIASTS:


BRUSHES:  Minimum TWO Pointed Rounds – three preferred, four if adding large size.  One for details, one medium size multi purpose, both from the size range 0 to 6.  Add a larger brush if suiting your painting style.  
  See above detail for sizes.

If you need brushes for any of your Art needs, I highly recommend Rosemary & Co. in the U.K.!   Theirs are the highest quality, enhancing your painting experience, at excellent prices.  Now available directly from their U.S. distributor in Texas, windriverarts.com 972-342-4947 (9am-9pm CT).  Save on shipping and delivery time.

Winsor-Newton Artist’s Sables are very good but may be more expensive than Rosemary & Co. of equal or better quality.
    
Winsor-Newton COTMAN brushes, while student grade, are a rare non-Artists’ Grade recommendation, but these are nice brushes at an affordable price that won’t compromise your painting experience.  Buying thru blick.com recommended.

OPTIONAL for ALL LEVELS:


REFERENCE PHOTOS / IMAGES for inspiration – sunsets, flowers, seascapes, landscapes, abstracts, animals, seasonal themes, etc.
