Q: How do I start watercolor painting?

A: If you’re new to painting and want to start, you’ve come to the right place! Starting watercolor painting is simple, you just need to gather some supplies first. You’ll need watercolor paints, paint pans, brushes, and paper. We also offer watercolor paint kits that make it easy for beginners to have everything they need to try out this new hobby.


Q: What are the three watercolor techniques?

A: The three watercolor techniques or rules are as follows:
