The brush library
Every brush set, shelved the way an atelier would.
Sixty sets is too many to scroll. So we arranged the library into six shelves: complete sets first, then sable, then the specialists. Find your shelf below, every set is one click from your basket.
One decision, fully made
The complete sets
Wash to detail in a single box. If you only buy one thing from this page, make it one of these.
The soft classics
Sable & natural hair
Natural hair holds more water and releases it slowly, which is why sable has been the watercolourist's choice for two centuries.
Sable or synthetic? A thirty-second answer.
Sable and natural hair
Holds a full load of water and releases it slowly. Made for watercolour washes and soft blending.
Synthetic and taklon
Springs back to a point and stands up to acrylic. Easier to clean, harder to wear out.
Honestly? Own both
Most painters keep a synthetic set for acrylic and a sable set for watercolour. They do different jobs.
For the smallest work
Fine detail
Miniatures, eyes, whiskers, lettering. Short, sharp points that put the paint exactly where you meant it.
One brush, one job
The specialists
Mops for skies, hake for washes, dry brushes for texture. The single brushes that earn a permanent place in the jar.
Painters who chose these shelves before you
My husband is a retired sign writer and will now take up various forms of art. He thinks the brushes are excellent, thank you.
Donna Hunn
Lovely set. Really pleased with them. Great quality and presentation. A pleasure to receive them, thank you!
Colin Hill
I bought a set. Took them to my art group and I was asked to buy another for a fellow artist who didn't have internet access. She's delighted as I am.

Built to go further
Bundles worth more than their pieces
A set, the tools that suit it, and free gifts packed in the same box. The way to start properly in one order.
Look after them
Care & carry
A good brush lasts years if the point is protected. The small things that keep a set working like new.

Gift-boxed sets
Many sets arrive in boxes worth keeping.
Chosen, not stocked
We test every set before it earns a shelf here.
Artist brushes chosen and used by a family of working artists: sable that holds a full load and returns to a point, Taklon that keeps its edge through acrylic, and soft synthetic squirrel for flowing watercolour. Every set is picked because we would paint with it ourselves.
Start with the shape the work asks for. Rounds are the all-purpose choice, filberts blend soft edges, flats lay clean bands of colour, and fine liners put the last details in place. Each set carries our 60-day guarantee, with free UK delivery over £45 and over 2,000 verified reviews behind the range.
