The colour room
Every paint we sell, arranged by medium.
Watercolour behaves nothing like acrylic, so we stopped shelving them together. Pick your medium below and everything on that shelf will suit it.
The watercolour shelf
Watercolour
Transparent, forgiving and quick to set up. Pans travel well, tubes mix big washes, and every set here is chosen for real pigment load.
Pans or tubes? A thirty-second answer.
Pans
Dry blocks you wake with a wet brush. Tidy, portable, nothing to squeeze or waste.
Tubes
Moist colour for bigger washes and stronger mixes. Best once you know your favourite colours.
What actually matters
Pigment load. Cheap sets are mostly filler. Every set on this page is one we would paint with ourselves.
The body-colour shelf
Acrylic, gouache & oil
Opaque colour with real covering power. Acrylic dries in minutes, gouache stays matte, oil gives you all evening to change your mind.
Everything in one box
Complete painting sets
Paints with the brushes, paper and palette to use them. Nothing else to buy, whether it's for you or for someone about to start.
Somewhere to mix
Palettes
Good colour starts on the palette, not the paper. Flat for big washes, welled for keeping mixes apart.
Can't pick a medium?
Start with watercolour. It needs the least kit, forgives the most mistakes, and the Vibrant Collection will still be in your paint box years from now.

Brushes to match
Every medium here has a matching shelf in the brush library.
