What you will need:
The set is designed to work wonderfully with lake pigments. You have the option of buying high-quality pigments or - even better - making your own lake pigments. 

To maximize your artistic potential, I recommend making your own pigments. This is a great way to explore your own individual palette of colors. Online tutorials for making lake pigments will soon be available here.

For best results, use a small digital scale for precise measurements and  reserve the measuring spoon exclusively for the pigments.

Use distilled water if possible, but tap water is usually sufficient depending on the water quality.
