Pencil-sharpener

All you will need to get started with watercolor painting, outdoors or at the studio! The watercolor box and the brush are quality products that you will keep for a long time. Attention, for courses taking place at the Louvre, make sure to bring a water-filled brush (to be ordered individually, besides the kit), as well as a water-based felt pen if you wish to use a pen rather than a pencil.

This sketchpad is middle weight (120-160 g/m2), which works fine with drawing, but also with watercolor drawing (drawing + a few touches of watercolor). Its hardback makes it convenient when working outdoors. For watercolor drawing, it is not necessary to use watercolor paper, that is more expensive, rather thick, and whose texture can prevent the nib or drawing pen from running smoothly.

These two products are necessary for oil painting. They make it smoother, more shiny. They replace water, that can be used with watercolor, gouache or acrylics, but in no means with oils! You may also use the oil of turpentine to clean your brushes.

A small sketchpad to get started with the art of Travel Sketchbooking.Thin and flexible, it will easily fit in your pocket. Its light-weight paper (90g/m2) is more adapted to pencil and color pencil work. For watercolor, you may prefer the 125g/m2 paper pad!
