Try Watercolor
Some basics for getting starting with watercolor
Required
Watercolor Pad: Watercolor is typically done on a thick textured paper that will absorb the pigments adequate and not wrinkle too much. If you are worried about wrinking, try using masking tape to tape the paper to the table you are working on.
Paint: White, black, and the primary colors (red, blue, yellow) are required. You can mix these colors to make other colors or you can buy the exact color you want. Green is relatively easy to mix. Purple can be more difficult
Brushes: A basic brush set is nice. One or two inexpensive brushes can be enough to get started but most artists find that a good watercolor brushes are worth it. Watercolor brushes are cleaned with water.
OPTIONAL:
Palette: A basic palette is nice so that you can squeeze out the quantities that you want. It is also nice to have a palette for mixing. A sealing palette will keep your paints wet for use for another day.
Stay Creative.
