Watercolor kit, with at least six colors, one light and one dark of each primary. White and earth tones are not needed. Please do not buy student grade paint—some good brands are Lukas, Daler-Rowney, or the mid-levels of Windsor-Newton. the high end of Windsor-Newton is too pricey and the student grade to cheap. Cotman Watercolors are fine, and come in a nice field kit. Check the Dick Blick cart linked above for some precise suggestions.
