Paper

140 weight cold press watercolor paper. 100% cotton. When drying this paper it will buckle but this this just adds to the charm of the work. Good paper is a must!

Brushes:

#8 round brushes. They need to be stored with bristles up!!  And have the kids be gentle, don’t "smash" tips into paper.

Clean well and don’t ever use masking  fluid on them. Don't worry when you see the bristles staining, this is normal.
