Thank you! Not US though :< I don't know any franchise I could visit...

Anyways, I'm looking at these at amazon. Can you tell me if they are okay purchases?

Products Im looking at: Paint: http://www.amazon.com/Reeves-Assorted-12-Milliliter-Watercolor-18-Pack/dp/B0019IP11A/ Paper: http://www.amazon.com/Bee-Paper-Watercolor-9-Inch-12-Inch/dp/B004KPLLF4/ Brushes: http://www.amazon.com/Grace-Art-Water-Color-WS12/dp/B00I3S2WF2/ref=pd_bxgy_ac_img_z A palette something like this (having separated places to mix the colours is a plus, right? I'm really goofy!) http://www.amazon.com/Yooway-Display-Durable-Plastic-Palette/dp/B00T95HSVG/ref=sr_1_72?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1424813150&sr=1-72

And what do you think of a set like this? Anything important missing? (This one doesnt ship to Eu unles I play $90 :S Ill keep browsing)

Thank you so much for the amazing reply! How do you think these choices look?

For the paints: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019IP11A/ (I wasn't able to find the kind you suggested on Amazon for < $50)

For the brushes: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WOTCXA/

For the paper: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00251AIO0 (The Arches was unfortunately out of my price range)

Palette: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0028FO1BO/

For the misc -- do I need to wet the paper before trying? Which bottle brand do you recommend?

Thanks!!
