If you don't mind, what tools and brands do you use for traditional art?
I use Schmincke watercolor pans, Horadam to be specific! They have two kinds, Akademie and Horadam though I‘ve always stuck with Horadam, which are a little higher in quality. I bought almost all of them second-hand though because new ones are… pricey. Orz‘ Otherwise I use mostly Hahnemühle paper (not always the watercolor paper because the scanner will also scan the texture and I sometimes prefer a more flat surface :)) and da vinci synthethic brushes or other cheap ones from my local DIY store.
I‘ve also tried Holbein watercolors, which are pretty neat and rich in colors.

do you have a watercolor brand rec? 👀
i'm actually a really big proponent of using whatever's convenient for you, fr. brands vary in price depending on where you're buying them/where you live, what's available, etc. sure there are definitely differences between them, but especially when you're using professional materials it's actually more rare to pick something bad than to stumble on something serviceable.
(whoops this one got long too. under the cut it goes.)
some brands do, admittedly, do certain things better than others. sennelier (a french brand) is known to go down kind of pale/less saturated on the first wash, but they build really really well in glazes and have a luminosity to them that gives paintings a really interesting depth.
daniel smith (an american brand) has one of the largest collections of colors available i've ever seen and their earth tones are gorgeous and really unique.
QOR (not sure where they're based?) has WILDLY saturated colors that bloom so much it kind of looks like fireworks, same with roman szmal.
holbein (a japanese brand) doesn't move much in water at all and thus offers a lot of control to the user instead at the cost of more abstract or dynamic movement in water.
schmincke horadam (a german brand) was hailed as the holy grail of watercolors for a while for their fine pigments and wild dispersal, but that's kind of chilled out these days since so many new players became beloved staples, and some people aren't fans of wild blooming to begin with. in a similar vein, winsor and newton (english brand) has a very extensive history and honestly works as a super "traditional" pick with few surprises but a solid foundation—and none of that is considering the wild variations in properties between student grade paints or the many types of handmade ones that hit the market lol. some brands make great pro but weak student lines, and vice versa.
buuuuuut.
all of that is pedantic when you're starting out, and honestly if you're asking this you're probably looking to get into watercolor. at beginning or intermediate stages where you haven't gone down the fixation rabbithole, all of tha information is more likely to confuse you than help, especially if you don't know what you like or dislike about watercolor yet.
at beginning stages whatever established pro or student brand is available to you is probably good enough to build fundamental knowledge on.
my actual, legit advice is to pick a few colors you like, then if another brand has what you want get it from them. get a small set if that helps and just build with whatever you find lacking, whatever you aren't using can be replaced with something that appeals to you more. there's no need to stick to one specific brand name just because. just don't pick the super chalky ones that come in those huge art packs with the round pans, and you should be fine (and even then, i've seen some people do great art with those! i just don't like when it comes off like dust on my fingers lol.) general rule of thumb i follow is that if they have accurate pigment and lightfastness information, you're going to be fine.
art isn't really all that exclusionary when you do it for fun, it's just an environment where people started making stuff for smaller and more specific audiences to cater to preferences lol. hell, paint with coffee if you want to. life's short and painting is fun, might as well enjoy it for a while.
oh, but do use good paper. blah blah, you've probably heard it before, and trust me we're all just as horrified as you that watercolor paper is so goddamn expensive. but you could literally have The Nicest Paints In The World and they'd look terrible on bad paper that won't let you use the techniques people try to teach you. if you have to pick between good paper and mediocre paints vs bad paper and excellent paints, pick the paper. trust me.
#ney's art tips (art questions)#ney's chatter (ask answers)#wow this got long too#can't believe i'm talking about traditional art so much lately when basically all i post on here is digital#mainly bc trying to take a picture of traditional art without a scanner is a HELLHOLE#orz#genuinely i'm not even all that GOOD at watercolor#i'm just a massive nerd (and i mean RIDICULOUS) when it comes to everything that makes them/how they work/the super small details of brands#literally to the point where i memorized pigment code charts. where i know the differences in binders.#the difference between honey-based paints and those without it#not even a bee joke fr#my first watercolor set was...#eh. story for another time i think lol this is already too long

I got a new inkpen yesterday, which I can fill with india ink and I‘m absolutely IN LOVE with it qwq
Of course I had to make a sketchbook-spread for everything I have in my pencil case and take with me everywhere.
also I strive to have items that I can use for years and years and can swap out So from top to bottom:
Faber-Castell — mechanical pencil (the thiccc lead-refill kind): 6 years
Faber-Castell — ballpoint pen: close to 3 years (pf course I broke off the clippy thingy)
Indigraph — refillable india ink pen: got it yesterday
Pentel — brush-pen: 5 years (even tho they tell you not to do I am refilling it with india ink for 5 years now)
Stabilo Boss — highlighters in pastel orange and pastel violet: a 2 months (refillable)
Pentel — watertank brush: 5 years
Schmincke Horadam — 14 small pans of water colours in a travel size box: 3 years (I can get new pans whenever I run out)
What I also keep in my pencil case
MUJI — small ruler: 3 years
No-name — folder-stick (basically to help paper with a pre-folded line to fold) — 10 years
Faber-Castell — lead-refill pencil sharpener
Staedtler — Mars Plastic eraser: the only thing apart from refills I have to change it out regularly
A small ink vial with india ink to refill my pen.
