I use watercolor paint that comes in a tube. They do have watercolor paint that comes in cakes and I just have never tried it, never used it, I would sure give it a shot if you are interested and again it is one of those experimental things that try things until you find things that work for you. But it comes in different sizes again and there is different costs involved, the more expensive paints tend to have a little more pigment since some of the colors will stick around a little longer but it is totally up to you. Again try what you like and what you'll do is you will take the paint out of the tube obviously the lid comes off and you squirt it on to a palette and then you'll paint, you'll dip your brush into the paint and then the water and you'll take it from there so just a gazillion colors to choose from. My palette is pretty limited because of what I paint, I don't use a lot of different colors. So it is pretty easy for me to be consistent on the kinds of paints that I use but again go to the store, look at what they have to offer, buy some different brands, I have three different brands right here, I mix and match and I just do what works for me so go to the art store and just experiment.
