I use durable, well sized (coated) 140lb cotton watercolor paper.
I use Arches Cold Press - Jackson's: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/sur...

Arches on Blick often has good prices for US: https://shrsl.com/2d1lx
Winsor & Newton's cold press paper is durable, takes layers and lifting well. It has a rougher texture, worse for drawing detail, but works magic with granulating paints: https://amzn.to/35kvKt2
You can also find W&N on Blick for a good price USA - https://shrsl.com/2igwr

PENS AND BRUSHES:
Black waterproof Tombow Mono - https://amzn.to/3ai7w2i
White gouache for highlights - https://amzn.to/32JBQ4e

Neptune brushes to hold a lot of water https://amzn.to/2Af92Fg
Heritage brushes to hold a good point  https://amzn.to/32hBUbz
LIFT / ERASE brushes - you can use any flat brush that has spring (holds its shape). Synthetic is best. I use this https://www.kimcrick.com/search?q=wat...
Cheaper brushes I like for watercolor painting, that have a nice point and a decent balance between water capacity and spring (firmness to snap back into shape) include:
Dynamic Distraction - https://amzn.to/3maws1R
Dugato - https://amzn.to/33j0Le8
