Please know that it is not my intention for you to purchase all the supplies! You may have a lot of these already, and I always suggest that you use your favorites supplies on hand. And, always stay true to the colors that you love. I am also listing options and different brands.

Wax Crayons
I love painting and drawing with these crayons, just make sure you choose water-soluble so you can use wet. If you are lucky to visit an art supply store, you can usually find the Neo Colors and wax crayons as singles or find sets online.
Neo Color IIs set
Watercolor Pencils
So many choices out there. I personally like the Caran D’ache the best, the Supra Color II line is incredible. And like the Neo’s sometimes you can find these in an art supply store and just find the colors you like instead of a set. Also, the Faber Castell Aqua line is great too.
Faber Castell Goldfaber Aqua set

Misc:
