VereeshCan anyone give me some advice about choosing materials for watercolor painting as a disabled person who has to spend most of my time in bed? I have paper, and can probably scrounge up a bed easel. But I've only ever bought supermarket paint sets, and I'm looking for something a little nicer. How do I get started with those cool little pans? I need a way to work without a water glass, if possible, don't want to spill in bed. I want to paint flowers and stuff like that. #art #watercolor #advice
ratfactor@temporal_spider I second the recommendation for water brushes. Squeezing them just the right amount to get the brush wet without dripping takes a bit of practice, but is totally do-able.
There are a bunch of great watercolor pan sets that are a step up from supermarket, but are still quite inexpensive.
What I've done is start with a small, cheap Sakura Koi travel set and as the colors ran out, I've refilled with nice tubes. When the tube paint dries, it works just like the pans - wet and use!
