Any chance you could link to the field set you use? My wife just got into watercolour, I'd love to get something like that for her.

Hi! the notebook is this global arts materials one and the water brush is just the free one from my Sakura watercolor set! They're both pretty cheap materials - I have my eye set on a few higher end things, but I'm a firm believer that good art doesn't necessarily require quality supplies ;)

EDIT (forgot to respond to your second question): Oh, and I like the brush! I find the water barrel convenient when I'm sketching outdoors, although I do keep a jar for paint water when I'm painting at home still. It's very functional both ways :)

Here's a Koi set on Amazon that always seems to get a lot of love. And here's the Arches paper I was talking about. I checked- the half off price at Michael's is about the same as it is on Amazon, so if you want to stick with Amazon, there you go. And yes, yes the paper is that expensive for only 20 sheets, but as a learner, it's fine to use both sides of the paper :)

Also, don't worry about easels. Since watercolors are... wet, painting on a flat surface helps the paint not run all over the paper.

Yeah, you are right about the paper, I thought it was a bit bigger. The only thing to keep in mind is usually the bigger/nicer paper only has 10-20 sheets, which doesn't give you many chances to learn anything.

This seems like a good choice

This one is fun for kids because you can make little postcards for people, but they aren't very large.

I have this one sitting in front of me now, Its the larger version of the one I linked you yesterday.(Which is what I thought I was sending.) It seems pretty nice, and the journal seems to just stay open on its own btw.(Watercolor takes awhile to dry, so thats a good thing)

As far as quality paper, I've never had an issue with Srathmore or Canson brands.

Oh, and in regards to paint, this set might be worth considering as well. I've always really like koi stuff.

I hope that helps. Also, good on you for being charitable, I'm sure she will love whatever you decide to get her. Once again, let me know if you have any questions I might be able to answer.
