A couple of flat brushes: 1/2” works well

Palette (larger is better) I use a disposable paper palette pad for acrylics and a plastic palette with 20 wells for watercolor. You will be doing a LOT of mixing so you need room.

Lots of paper! A 9x12 pad of watercolor paper has about 30 sheets. Did I mention you will be doing a lot of mixing?
