The details
For traditional watercolour paper look no further than the premium Artway '35' range. The '35' refers to the 35% cotton content used in the production of this high quality paper providing greater strength and resilience over regular cellulose based papers. Combining traditional papermaking with the latest technology this paper also happens to be both vegan - containing no gelatin - and eco friendly, being completely acid-free.
Artway ‘35’ watercolour paper is produced ‘Cold-Pressed’ with a mid texture - in between ‘Hot Pressed’ (smooth, no texture and less absorbent) and ‘Rough’ (highly textured and more absorbent) - this makes it suitable for not only the occasional large area wash but also for fine detail.
For a more individual and rewarding watercolour surface then don't stray far from the Artway Indigo Cotton Rag papers. All individually handmade they comprise of 100% acid free cotton rag pulp in a variety of weights and textures. Each piece is totally unique with its own character - no two sheets are the same. The rugged nature of the paper means that it is highly versatile and ready for work - from watercolour to other painting and mixed media applications this paper will soon be your natural surface of choice.

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.
Is it gift-ready?
Our sets arrive in boxes worth keeping, no wrapping needed. If you would rather they choose, a gift voucher lets them pick their own.
I’ve only just got into painting so decided to purchase some good quality brushes and I am not disappointed after using them for over a month now vertically every day since I bought them they are lovely to work with
It was nice to get the free canvas roll bag as part of the price
I’m really happy with my choice
