You walk into an art store… and suddenly you need 20 brushes, 15 paints, 3 types of paper…

Or do you?

🎨 Start with Less, Create More

The truth about watercolour supplies (and how to choose the right kit)

🧵 You walk into an art store… and suddenly everything feels complicated

Brushes of all sizes.
Endless tubes of paint.
Paper with names you’ve never heard before.

And somehow, what started as a simple idea — “I’d love to try watercolour” —
turns into confusion.

Where do you even begin?

💛 I see this all the time

In my workshops, I meet so many beginners who feel exactly the same.

They tell me:

• “I don’t know what to buy”
• “I bought things… but I don’t use them”
• “I’m scared to start in case I do it wrong”

And honestly? I get it.

Because when something feels complicated… we don’t start.

🌿 The truth (that no one really tells you)

You don’t need a full art studio to begin.

You only need a few simple things:

• Watercolour paint
• A brush
• Watercolour paper
• A little water

That’s it.

Not 20 brushes.
Not 50 colours.
Not a big investment.

Just enough to begin.

✈️ So why does the “right kit” matter?

Here’s where it gets important.

Because while you don’t need everything…
👉 you do need the right combination.

I’ve seen it many times:

• Paint that doesn’t blend well
• Paper that doesn’t absorb water
• Brushes that don’t hold enough colour

And what happens?

Frustration.

Not because the person isn’t creative —
but because the tools aren’t helping them.

💡 The difference a good kit makes

When your materials are simple and well chosen:

• Colours blend beautifully
• Your brush flows easily
• The paper supports your strokes

And suddenly…

✨ It works
✨ It feels good
✨ You want to keep going

That’s the moment everything changes.

👵 Mamie Odette and the rainy afternoon

Let me tell you a little story.

Mamie Odette used to feel overwhelmed every time her grandchildren came to visit.

She wanted to do something creative with them…
but didn’t know where to start.

Too many ideas.
Too many options.
Not enough confidence.

One day, she downloaded a simple template and used a small watercolour set.

No pressure. No big setup.

Just a table, a cup of water, and a few colours.

That afternoon turned into:

• laughter
• a little mess
• handmade cards
• and a moment they all wanted to repeat

Now, she keeps her little kit ready.

Because she knows:
👉 it’s not about having everything
👉 it’s about being ready to begin

✨ Why I created Et Voilà kits

This is exactly why I created Et Voilà.

To remove the overwhelm.
To simplify the start.
To make creativity feel easy and accessible.

Each kit is designed to:

• bring together only what you need
• offer colours that work beautifully together
• help you start without overthinking

Because starting should feel… simple.

🌿 Painting is not about having more

It’s about allowing yourself a moment.

A pause.
A breath.
A brushstroke.

Whether you’re:

• at home
• at a café
• on holiday

You don’t need much.

Just colour, water…
and a little je ne sais quoi.
