The travel brush is a great brush to watercolor with if you have wrist strength issues; it holds a good amount of water, and it’s got a good sized, chunky handle. Smaller handles and detail work are harder on my wrist.
I put links to Jackson’s Art below for the travel brushes, it’s usually much less there.
And these are the Caran D’ache Museum Aquarelle watercolor pencils. shrsl.com/4347d
I went through 3 types to get to these pencils that I can actually use with wrist strength issues.
It would have been less expensive in the long run to just start with these, than to buy other ones that didn’t end up being something I could use anyway.
The Museum Aquarelle pencils don’t require a lot pressure to lay down the color. Because they are watercolor, it doesn’t require the same wrist action as coloring and shading with regular pencils would be.
I can’t actually do coloring pages with pencils because of wrist strength issues, but I can use these watercolor pencils to lay down the color, and then use water and a brush to activate them, and blend like watercolor.
I use clothes pins to hold the book open because they don’t require a lot of wrist strength to use, unlike binder clips which require a lot of wrist strength to use.

Hi I’m Megan. I’m passionate about watercolor and helping people with my chronic health challenges by sharing what I’m learning.
I’m a photographer, artist, and designer living in the US. I design themes for Samsung Galaxy devices. I have always loved photography, and recently (May 2021) found watercolor because of health challenges (POTS). I discovered that watercolor is an art form I can do with wrist strength issues. I want to encourage you and show you what’s possible. I hope my art will brighten your day.
Whether you have health challenges or not, I’d love to have you join me!
Megan :)
