Questions

1	Which pencil would you use in conjunction with watercolour paints? a) HB b) B2 c) B4 d) B6

2	Which brush type is the best for watercolourists? a) Hog Hair b) Sable c) A mixture of Synthetic and other hairs

Sables are the best brushes but are expensive. Therefore it may be better to start with a synthetic mixed hair brush, any good art store will advise you on this. The hog hairbrush is really for oil paint but can be used in watercolour for making special effects.
