Here is my YouTube video where I talk about what art materials I use currently. In general, I suggest that you try different professional artist grade materials and find your own favorites. However, to share with you my personal findings thus far with regards to watercolor paints, are Winsor & Newton professional paints as well as Daniel Smith. It is best to start with smaller tubes and once you are certain of a "keeper" color, you may buy the larger tube next time.
In my video I talk about this new empty watercolor metal box that I have purchased, as well as empty half pans in order to create my own palette. Besides its good quality and great price, I like it particularly for its unique white color.
The watercolor palette is (Jackson's metal folding watercolor palette) in white. (update:*black is available currently!)
The brush I use is ( size 8 Round Jacksons Studio Synthetic Watercolor Brush).
The paints are (Winsor & Newton, and Daniel Smith).
If you are interested in buying some of the products that I use, then please make your purchases using this link, in order to help me receive a small commission from their website. :) I would love to hear from you and what materials you bought!
Color is a personal matter. Also, your preferences may change as you change as an artist. However, it is recommended to start with a set of primary colors (yellow, blue, red) in order to create your own mixes. Having two sets (both warm and cool) is the next step. Then there are a few earth tones and useful colors to add that would suit your style and interest.
Below is a list of my current colors:
(Winsor & Newton ) :
New Gamboge
Winsor Lemon
Rose Madder Genuine
Raw Sienna

I hope these information have been helpful to you. Happy shopping! :)
