separate tubes. The brand names that are good are Winsor &
Newton (WN), Holbein (H), and Daniel Smith (DS). Daniel Smith
paints can be ordered on line or by phone. Don't get student
grade paint (i.e. Cotman etc.)

watercolor tubes separately:

| Paper
|
| D'Arches 140 lb. cold press. I prefer D'Arches because
it doesn't buckle as much when wet and the paper can withstand
scrubbing when lifting paint. It comes in single sheets, pads
and blocks. Watch the newspaper for sales! |
