craftgrrl | Art supply review sites or recommendations?

Hi, I'm a long-time lurker. Not really that crafty but love looking at the stuff everyone makes :) Was wondering if anyone knows of any helpful art supply review sites out there? Specifically I'm looking for some decent watercolor pens/markers - something that has a strong solid color. Right now I'm using colored sharpies but it shows a lot of the stroke marks on the stuff I'm coloring in. I'm a total newbie and art supplies are so expensive...help?

Edit: Since I haven't gotten any responses, is there a better community to ask this in?
