Professional quality, without the professional price.
“Our group leader was amazed at the quality and price of these brushes, so am I.”

★★★★★Rated Excellent 4.8/5 from 2,431 reviews
Why we started
To put professional quality brushes in the hands of every painter.
We’re a small family business, not a warehouse. My mum and dad, Jane and John, are both professional painters, and every set we sell is one we’d happily paint with ourselves.
Not right for you? Send it back within 60 days and we’ll refund you in full.
You enjoy the finishing touches: fine lines, clean edges and the small areas that need precision.
Why this set fits
Sable points hold their shape when wet, so fine lines and edges stay clean.
For skies and washes
You want brushes that carry water across the paper and keep their shape.
Why this set fits
Sable bellies carry a wash across the paper and spring back to a point for detail.
For returning to painting
You are ready to get back to creating, but do not want to rebuild your supplies from scratch.
Why this set fits
A proper sable set in one box, so a return to watercolour starts with brushes that behave. 60-day guarantee.

The detailsWhat it is and what’s included
Eight sable watercolour brushes across three classic shapes, pointed round, flat and cat’s tongue.
Set of 8 in a considered range of sizes
Three traditional shapes: pointed rounds, flats and the much-loved cat’s tongue oval wash
Natural sable, superb control, responsiveness and colour-carrying
Nickel-plated brass ferrules and polished birch handles, built to stay straight and true
Short, well-balanced handles for detailed or extended work
Presented in a gift box
Three shapes is what makes a watercolour set complete rather than merely large: the round tapers a line, the flat lays a clean edge, and the cat’s tongue does both without swapping. Colour releases evenly from the very tip while the generous belly holds enough pigment to carry a wash to the end.
Comfortable at the easel, at a desk, or out in the field. Whether you are refining technique after decades or discovering watercolour for the first time, these are made to be trusted studio companions.
Our 60-day guaranteePaint with it for 60 days. Return postage is on us.
60days to paint with it and decide
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.
We send you a prepaid returns label, so sending it back costs you nothing.
We refund you in full once it’s back with us.
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.

Caring for your brushesA minute after each session keeps them for years
Look after them and they’ll keep their shape and point for years. It only takes a minute at the end of each session.
Before first useSoak them briefly in cool water, comb the hairs gently from top to bottom and let them dry upright.
Rinse in lukewarm water until it runs clear. With acrylics, don’t let paint dry in the hairs.
Now and then, work a drop of mild soap gently through the hairs, then rinse.
Reshape the point with your fingers.
Dry them flat or bristles up, never resting on the bristles.
Avoid
Leaving brushes standing in water, very hot water (it loosens the glue), and scrubbing on the bottom of the jar.
Store
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.”

What if I do not get on with it?
You have 60 days to change your mind, and we send a prepaid return label, so sending it back costs you nothing. No quibbles, no restocking fees.
Which mediums do the brushes suit?
Each product page says which mediums it suits, watercolour, acrylic or oil. Sable carries water beautifully; our firmer synthetics stand up to acrylic and oil. If you are unsure, email us what you paint and we will point you right.
