Gifts for Watercolor Painters

Watercolor is deceptively demanding — the materials make a genuine difference, and painters who've been at it for more than six months know exactly what separates the student supplies from the tools that actually behave. The gifts that get kept are the ones that respect that knowledge: artist-grade pigment, paper that handles blooms and wet-on-wet, a ceramic palette that doesn't stain. These aren't starter kit items — they're the things experienced painters have on their wish list.
