For Working in Color:
This is a really simple technique I think you'll really like.
Get a light blue colored pencil -not a watercolor pencil. This allows you
to draw lightly and then put the color over it without the lines showing.
Buy a set of 24 watercolor crayons, yes crayons, not the pencils.
Any brand is fine.
Then get 2 a synthetic watercolor brushes- medium and larger. Not expensive.
The alternate solution is fun- you can buy watercolor brushes that actually
have a plastic handle that holds water. Also inexpensive. Ask for it at your
art supply store or online.
Paper: try to get a white pad of Mix Media paper. 9x12 or 11x14.
Watercolor paper is OK too but usually pricey. No watercolor blocks.
Pads are easiest. Don't get paper that is too wimpy, it buckles.
OK? That's all you need for starters.
For ceilings and frescoes, contact the Vatican.
