Hand painting colorful flowers with watercolor paints

If you're shopping for someone who paints in watercolor, look at what's on their table: paints, paper, brushes and the cup of rinse water. These seven are tools they'll actually use, not art for the wall.

A watercolor painter who knows exactly which colors they're missing.
