This is great Kiley! Thank you, so much for sharing your preferences with us. And that Magic Eraser trick is really cool! I have some of the things you mentioned. Arches paper, W&N watercolor and I prefer plates as well. I am just starting out so I don't have expensive brushes yet. I have a set from Zen that will suffice I until I improve, and some extra small ones and white ink and jelly roll, and white erasers. I also have those kind of pencils, though I am using a mechanical pencil atm. Also use mason jars. I haven't painted much. Will be more active as the summer fades. ... getting there... Lol as far as a favorite supplies.. idk yet.

I have the Neptune series round and as a beginner I like them. I do see the next brushes that are going on my wish list!❤️ thank you for going through all your favorites! I really love the Daniel Smith watercolor paints, the colors are so concentrated.

The magic eraser technique blew my mind. Raiding under my sink NOW. Wonderful video, full of quick knowledge for beginners. Thank you 💙

Thanks for posting!

I have very similar supplies 😂 I do love the Silver Black Velvet brushes for detail and wet on wet. DS paints are gorgeous and I also have quite a few W&N and Schmincke paints.

I have some of the same Princeton Neptune Brushes you have & I have a 3/4 “inch Princeton Neptune Square Wash Brush, along with Princeton Velvetouch 3/8 inch Filbert Grainer Brush for textures. I have mostly Winsor & Newton Cotman Paints and a few Daniel Smith. I used the Micron Pens, White Erasers, Gum Erasers, a Winsor & Newton set of Sketching Pencils, a Pentel Click 0.5 mm Mechanical Lead Pencil, and Hahnemuhle 100 % Cotton 140 lb. Watercolor Paper. I use Mason Jars for painting indoors and old cleaned out Large Prescription Bottles to hold my water outside unless I have my Pentel Waterbarrel Brush. I have got to add the Magic Eraser to my list of supplies to get next. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us.

gurl, i finally found your channel! I love your bird paintings!

I’m a beginner. I love the shapes I can get from the dagger for flowers and leaves

Love the Mr Clean tip (magic eraser). Fun Fact: I used to know the original Mr Clean.

If you like granulating colours or just really textured ones you should try Kremer watercolours. I recently bought them so i'm still trying them, but jeez I'm in love with them. They are super super textured. I have set 1 + some paints and only with this one set you can create so much fun with mixes. I especially love their browns as caput mortuum, iron glimmer violet and others. And their cobalts are just wow. And with your blocks of Arches with the black sides, when you peel of the papers does the black glue stay on the sides of the paper? I had some block like that but this happened and I never wanted to use it again since it looked awful.

I'm just starting my art youtube channel, thank you for the video

Thank you for all your tips and tricks! I have bought a similar sponge, must try it sometime. I looove the wolf that shows as "startingpicture". Do you have a tutorial of that one?

better to spend money on cheaper plates and have them accidently break than spend a lot more money on ceramic palettes and have that break!

Love your plates…do you squeeze from the tube onto the plate…I’m thinking yes?

I noticed that you don't use masking fluid. I see by your style its not needed, but do you use it on other watercolor paintings, for instance portraits or landscapes?

Great video and beautiful paintings. Have you looked at a tube wringer to get the remaining paint out of the tube? Thanks so much!
