Artist Paints — Watercolour, Oil, Acrylic & Gouache

From first brushstroke to finished canvas — find the right paint for your medium, your style, and your level. We stock a curated range of professional and student-grade paints across all major media: watercolour, oil, acrylic, and gouache.

Watercolour

Transparent, luminous, and endlessly versatile. Watercolour is the go-to medium for illustration, plein air painting, and sketchbook work. Available in pans and tubes, in compact travel tins and full studio sets — for professional artists and students alike.

Oil Paints

Slow-drying and richly pigmented, oil paint is the classic choice for studio work on canvas and board. Ideal for portraits, landscapes, and large-format painting where blending and layering matter. We stock professional and starter sets in tubes.

Acrylic Paints

Fast-drying and incredibly versatile — acrylic works on almost any surface: canvas, wood, paper, fabric. Thin with water for a watercolour-like wash, or use straight from the tube for bold, opaque coverage. A favourite for mixed media, illustration, and studio painting.

Gouache

Opaque, matte, and brilliantly pigmented. Gouache is a favourite of illustrators, concept artists, and designers for its flat, even colour and easy reworkability when rewetted. Works beautifully on paper and illustration board.

How to Choose

• New to painting? Watercolour or acrylic starter sets are the easiest entry point — quick results, easy cleanup, affordable.
• Painting outdoors? Watercolour travel sets are the most portable. See our Plein Air collection.
• Illustration and design work? Gouache or acrylic — flat coverage, vibrant colour, excellent on paper.
• Studio painting on canvas? Oil for slow blending and depth. Acrylic for faster drying and flexible technique.
• Buying as a gift? See our Gifts for Artists for curated ideas.
