✏️ Supplies Needed ✏️
I have only provided specific links for the things that can't be found at any art/craft supply store, and I do not get commission on anything I recommend - these are just the supplies I love.
Paper: Any 140 lb. watercolor paper will work, but I usually use Arches. This can be spendy, so Strathmore 400 is a more affordable option but still good paper. At the end of the day, use what you have - just try to make sure it's 140 lbs. or more. That helps with warping.
Pens: If you are drawing on top, pretty much any pen will work. If you are drawing first, you want a waterproof pen. I love the Uni-ball Eye Micro and Uni-ball Deluxe (this is the one I used in this video) - both are ballpoint, which stand up to the texture on watercolor paper very well.
Watercolor: I mostly use either Daniel Smith brand or handmade watercolors, but in these videos I generally use the two below - they are good beginner sets and aren't terribly expensive

Tape: I am currently loving Scotch Wall Safe Tape, but washi tape is a good alternative. If you use masking tape or painters tape, make sure you de-tack them a bit because they can rip the paper more.
Eraser: Because people ask! :) I love the Pentel Hi-Polymer white erasers
Brushes: I really love the watercolor brushes from Nfinity Arts by Fibnacci - nfinityarts.co...
