Sanaie Artwork: Supplies You Need to Paint Watercolors

Supplies you can use to paint like me, starting with the most important:

Sink: Having a fresh supply of water for mixing paint and cleaning brushes and your palette is very important
Paper: I like to use 140lb Cold-Pressed Watercolor Blocks
Brushes: Those I've found most useful recently are a: large square wash brush (1 1/2-in), medium filbert (#14), smaller filbert, small round (#2) for details, and mop brush (5/8-in) - my small filbert is actually an acrylic brush - it's OK to mix & match
Towel(s): You can use disposable paper towels to blot away excess water and pigment from your brushes and paper; I prefer a reusable hand towel because it's more environmentally friendly
Pigment: Colors I've used recently: Lemon Yellow, Winsor Yellow, Transparent Yellow*, Cad Orange, Winsor Red Deep, Quinacridone Rose, Alizarin Crimson, Caput Mortuum*, Burnt Sienna and Burnt Umber, Raw Umber*, Lamp Black*, Hooker's Green, Cobalt Green, Terre Verte, Manganese Blue, Coeruleum Blue, Prussian Blue*, Ultramarine, Ultramarine Violet; *=used sparingly
Palette: I use a Skip Lawrence Palette; I like how it's easy to drag colors from their bins into the mixing area
Water Bowl: A shallow bowl helps avoid dunking the brush in too deep; I try to avoid getting water in the ferrule
Ref Photos: Even for unrealistic paintings reference photos can help, although I've done some pantings from my imagination

Here is where I've shopped for supplies:
