Paper

Watercolor paper is an important part of painting. If you try to paint on any old thing, you will get very frustrated. I believe this is one reason why people who try watercolor don't continue. You need a good quality paper that stands up to all sorts of painting techniques. I personally like Arches...it can take a lot of abuse and still perform.
