Upgrade Your Watercolor Paints

I see beginning watercolor students struggle with their student grade paints. Student grade have less pigment and lots of filler. Thus, they have less pigment power. They are more fugitive and are sometimes harder to mix desired colors. They are cheaper! In fact if all of the color tubes are priced the same......four dollar range......they are poor quality. When a student makes the big leap to Artist Grade or Professional Grade Paints, their reactions are of surprise and delight with the pigment power of the paints. I know good artist supplies are expensive. Purchase just what you think you will use. It is well worth the investment.
