Every beginner dreams of soft washes and luminous blends, but too often the wrong tools sabotage the journey before it begins. After years of trial, error, and professional guidance, here are the top five watercolor supplies most newcomers regret buying—and the smarter alternatives pros swear by.
1. Overpriced “Student” Paint Sets
ADVERTISEMENT
Many grab big box sets with dozens of colors, only to find them chalky and weak. Pros recommend starting with just a few high-quality tubes or pans (like ultramarine, burnt sienna, and lemon yellow). Fewer shades, richer blends, far less waste.
2. Cheap Paper Pads
Regular sketch paper curls, pills, and dulls your colors. Beginners often spend hours on a piece that warps as it dries.

Invest in 100% cotton, 140lb watercolor paper. It absorbs pigment beautifully and makes blending effortless.
