How to Choose the Right Watercolor Product for You

Whether you're brand new to watercolor or looking for a creative gift, our watercolor collection has something for every skill level and style. The tricky part? Knowing which product is the right fit. Here's a simple guide to help you choose.

Paintable Notecards For the Thoughtful Note-Sender

If you love the idea of sending a handmade card but don't want to start from scratch, paintable watercolor notecards are your sweet spot. Each set comes pre-printed with a design — you simply add watercolor to bring it to life, then write your message inside. They make a beautiful gift on their own or paired with a set of watercolor markers or pencils.

Best for: Beginners, gift-givers, anyone who loves sending personal notes.

Watercolor Workbooks For the Creative Who Wants to Learn

Our watercolor workbooks are guided step-by-step painting books that walk you through each project. They're perfect if you want to actually build a skill, not just dabble. Each workbook focuses on a theme birds, botanicals, seaside scenes, and more so you can pick one that matches your style.

Best for: Anyone who wants to learn watercolor at their own pace, creative types who love a project, and great as a gift.

Watercolor Pencils For Precision and Portability

Our 36-color watercolor pencil set gives you the control of a colored pencil with the blendable finish of watercolor. Draw your design dry, then activate with a wet brush for a soft, watercolor look or wet the tip of the pencil directly to add details.

Best for: Detail-oriented creatives, travelers, and anyone who prefers drawing over freehand painting.

Watercolor Brush Tip Markers For Bold Color and Easy Flow

If you want vibrant color without mixing paints, watercolor brush tip markers are the most approachable option. The flexible brush tip makes it easy to vary your stroke — thin lines or broad sweeps and the colors blend beautifully when layered wet-on-wet. A 12-color set covers all the essentials.

Best for: Kids and adults alike, hand lettering, quick creative projects, and anyone who finds traditional watercolor intimidating.

Blank Watercolor Sketchbook For the Free Spirit

Sometimes you just want a blank page and room to explore. Our h ardcover watercolor sketchbook is made with heavy 140lb paper that holds up beautifully to wet media without warping or bleeding through. At 5.5" x 5.5", it's the perfect size to take anywhere and the hardcover means you can paint without a table. Pair it with the pencils or markers for a complete creative set.

Best for: Anyone who wants total creative freedom, journalers, and artists who prefer to work from imagination rather than a guided project.
