im thinking about messing around with watercolor again. i took a painting class in highschool, but i dont remember much at all about watercolor. i just remember i liked it, and i always wanted to get a watercolor set. SOOO, im asking you guys- whats a good set to start out with? should i just go to hobby lobby and pick something in the mid price range from the ones on the shelf? or is there a certain brand i should look for...i dont know, any info would be great!

I love watercolors! and though I can't paint to save my life (ok, maybe for that) my husband is an excellent painter. And we did just that a couple weeks ago (pick up something mid range at hobby lobby) and he made some watercolors of our dogs. I'll try to photograph them and post them this weekend.
if you want to be able to re-wet them ... i suggest the pan kind - not the tube kind. apparently when you re-wet the tube kind they break down and can underbind to your paper ...
i also like guoache... a bit more opaque... and you can mix the two....
have fun!!
Windsor and Newtons are a great brand! My mum bought me a set of them in tube. You can also get them in little cakes. The tubes get a better result.
