What can replace gouache with?
Watercolor. Watercolor paint is suitable for painting within the course. To successfully complete the lessons, make sure that the set of watercolours contains white or buy a separate jar of white gouache. Watercolor drawings will be lighter and more delicate, but if you use a lot of paints, they will be very similar to gouache paintings.
Acrylic paints. Acrylic paints are suitable for painting and they are simple and easy to work with to get a result similar to the video tutorial. After painting, it is better to rinse brushes and sponges well so that it is convenient to work with them next time. You can purchase a whole set or each paint separately. Each firm has a different name for its colours.

What kind of paper should you use?
If you are going to paint with acrylic paint and oil paint (you can choose the paint yourself), it is better to use synthetics or bristles.
Any thick paper is suitable for drawing. This can be watercolor paper or sketching paper. Sometimes we use printer paper.
Coloured paper will be needed for some lessons. It is better if it is not glossy, but matte.

What brushes are needed?
If you only have one brush, use that. If a student has different brushes of different sizes and different hardness, he will learn how to work with them in practice. You can start with the brush you have now and buy later.
