Watercolour Evening Kit: 18 Watercolours, A3 Pad + Brush Set

A quiet evening with the paints. Watercolour needs very little gear, and this kit gives you good paper, a full range of colours and brushes made for washes and detail.

What's in the kit

• Mont Marte Two Seasons watercolours, 18 x 12ml tubes
• Watercolour pad, German paper, A3 180gsm, 15 sheets
• Gallery Series watercolour brush set, 5 brushes

Three things to try first

1. A wet-on-wet sky: wet the paper, then drop in blue and let it spread.
2. A simple landscape: sky first, then hills, then a darker foreground.
3. Loose flowers: a blob of colour for each petal, then a fine line for the stem.

Good to know: tape the sheet down on all four sides to keep it flat while it dries.
