QoR WATERCOLOR PAINT
This watercolor paint is made by Golden. Instead of using gum arabic as a binder they used Aquazol. One of the benefits of this is that the colors don't lighten up as much as it dries, and it's more flexible than gum arabic. Below are a few kits that are available.

BRUSHES
NEPTUNE QUILL BRUSH- This is the brush that I mentioned in the video. I bought this four years ago and it's still in good shape. It holds a lot of water so it's good for quickly applying large washes of color. At the time I created this, it wasn't available on Amazon, unless you want a smaller size

COTMAN WATERCOLOR BRUSHES
These are the smaller brushes with the blue handles. They have synthetic bristles and they seem to hold up over the years.
Here's the entire line of Cotman brushes on Blick: http://shrsl.com/43gfz
This is the number 8 round that I was using in the video.
