The tube of watercolors works like this. Remember those little watercolor sets back in elementary school where the paint was in the plastic try, in little dried circles? Like this That is pretty much the same thing as what is in the tube but just dried out.
"B-b-b-but doesn't that mean that the paint is ruined?!"
Not at all! Watercolor can always be re-activated by just adding water to it again. That's the beauty of it. Put paint in a spot you don't like? Just put water on it again and brush it off. (note: It wont come of perfectly because of the fiber of the paper, but it actually is pretty forgiving). You can always pick up a watercolor tray like this and squeeze the paint out of the tubes and into the compartments of the tray. The paint can be mixed together while still in its wet form (at least I believe it can) and put in its own separate compartments. When it dries in the compartments just hit it with a wet brush to keep using it, just like you did with those little crayola sets. You won't be able to completely re-activate the whole blob, but you don't need to.
Watercolor pencils can be used like regular color pencils, but much like the dried out watercolors in the plastic tray, you can go into the drawing with a wet brush and activate the pencils like regular watercolors. This is useful for mixing wet and dry techniques.
Acrylics are mean as shit! They dry hella fast (especially on paper) and are always like, "Oh, you wanted to mix that? Why don't you mix my balls with your mouth! Go fuck yourself!" At least, that's my relationship with them. It is important to use a medium like matte medium and possibly some retarder (helps them dry slower) to make them more manageable. They tend to work best in opaque layers, as their washes aren't too malleable and the plasticity of the paint tends to not make the nicest glazes. Here is an acrylic piece on paper I finished about 15 minutes ago for RGD, and like always, it took way longer than it should have.
Great suggestion!
I have a question for you. What is preferable: More paint sets with less color variety or less paint sets with more color variety? Because I can probably buy a lot more packs of paint sets if they come in less than 24 colors. Here is an example, what do you think?
Also, among the three supplies you listed, is there one that is needed more than another or does it not matter?
The link you posted is the most cost-effective pack of construction paper I could find on Amazon, so that's good.
These are cheaper packs of large crayons, so I can get a bunch of those if everyone thinks this is the best idea.
