“Perfect for close up work and very fine detail. Good quality and value too.”
Linda, verified buyer
Nine classic sable rounds, #0 to #16, watercolour from hairline detail through to broad wash.
Having the whole size range in one box means you never break a passage of colour to hunt for the right brush. Sable’s generous belly carries enough pigment to finish a wash in a single loading, and the tip returns true afterwards, so detail and wash both come from the same nine brushes.
Individually crafted and built to withstand years of regular studio use, dependable companions rather than disposables. If they don’t meet your expectations we’ll arrange a replacement or refund, no fuss and no quibbles.
Paint with it for up to 60 days. If a brush sheds or loses its point, or it simply isn’t right for you, send it back and we’ll refund you in full.
No quibbles and no restocking fees. Everything we sell is something we’d happily paint with ourselves, so we’re glad to stand behind it.
“An issue was resolved 100% and I was satisfied that they genuinely wanted to maintain excellent customer service which is so important to me. So if for any reason you are unhappy with a purchase this company can be relied upon.”

“I’ve had so many products sent by post and they have always packed my purchases securely so that they have been delivered in perfect condition and also safely.”
Look after them and they’ll keep their shape and point for years. It only takes a minute at the end of each session.

Once they’re dry, keep them flat or upright with the heads up, somewhere they won’t get knocked.
If a brush ever sheds or loses its point within 60 days, our guarantee covers it.
“I have not treated them kindly. I have scrubbed paint into the canvas, stipple, used strong solvents and left them soaking in oil overnight. After all of this, they still maintain their shape, keep a good point or edge and are very easy to clean.”
I started The Artist’s Brush Boutique in 2019. My mum and dad, Jane and John, are both professional painters, and they’ve painted with our brushes from the very beginning. Each year they open their home for the Arundel Festival and hang their paintings for people to see.
