If you are just getting started with watercolor painting, it's best to start small. Here are a few reasons why we think so:

1) If you took our recommendation to purchase a medium-sized brush, working at this scale will make your painting look best.

2) If your paintings are small you can fit more on the page. You get more practice per page and you save paper.

3) The spontaneous brush strokes that make watercolor paintings appear so lively happen more often when working on a small scale.
