I THINK YOU SHOULD START ON PAPER AND PAINT YOU PLAN TO USE. THIS WAY I CAN GET FAMILIAR WITH HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER AND THEIR UNIQUENESS. OF COURSE I SAY THIS BECAUSE I RESEARCHED AND DECIDED FOR NOW PRODUCTS I AM WILLING TO INVEST IN. GRANTED I CAN ADJUST LATER.

Overall the subjects were covered well but . . . . . .while it may not be necessary to have expensive materials for the beginning sections of the academy it would have been nice to know that while the inexpensive materials ( i.e. 90 lb. paper) will be ok for some simple projects it can be frustrating to do an advanced wet on wet project with buckling paper. Also, quality paints make a difference.

I think that it should be noted that brush sizes are *not* standardized, because some may be confused when Princeton's #6 is a different size from Arteza's #6. And I think the student grade/artist grade issue should be addressed, if only to note that the difference exists and should not be a concern for an new painter; student grade are fine to start and likely much less expensive.

Really really good review of supplies. I’ve been doing online watercolor learning for about a year. This is the first time it all makes sense, what supplies are used and why, and work surface layout present. Omg I’m going to go rearrange my table right now because I see how I’ve been causing myself problems!
Information was presented in a clear and efficient manner. I appreciate the explanations of “why” and “how” certain materials are or aren’t necessary for beginners. Excited to start exploring. Happy painting!
