I got started by going to Walmart and buying their cheapest watercolor 140lb paper, and a prang classic 8 color set.

I followed some YouTube tutorials to do an r2d2 and a wolf, and I was hooked!!! It's been almost a year and I've since then used Walmart tubes, koi watercolor kit, and I just this week bought my first artist grade tubes from winsor&newton and Daniel smith.
That prang set is really surprising quality and for under $5 is one of the best ways to start IMO. It's a very moist paint and rewets and mixes easily, and gives you a full color range to start to learn mixing. It includes a decent round brush, but if you decide you want to try a new brush size or style, I recommend skipping the cheap ones and go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and using their coupons and sales to get a good brush for half off. Even the best ones they sell at Walmart shed bristles and nothing is more frustrating than picking bristles out of your paint.
By the time you've finished a pad of Walmart strathmore paper, you will have a very good idea of what you want to paint and what products you want to look at spending money on. Better to get that discovery out of the way for $15 than spend $50 and realize you want something completely different!
