If you have painted in watermedia before, bring what you already have. There is no need to buy anything brand new.

Paper: 140 cold press 22 x 30 arches or kilimanjaro 140 : buy paper by the sheet it is better than paper in a pad. You may cut it down to smaller sizes you will want to buy in packs of 3-5 as that is your best buy
