Find your fit

Is this the set for you?

For controlled detail

You enjoy the finishing touches: fine lines, clean edges and the small areas that need precision.

Why this set fits

Five rounds and liners in the fifteen hold their point, so you can work carefully without losing control.

For a versatile collection

You want one reliable set that covers more than one type of painting.

Why this set fits

Fifteen shapes from a wide flat to a detail round, all in one zip case that stands as a brush holder.

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 full set with case, sponge and palette knife in one box, backed by our 60-day guarantee.

The details

Fifteen brushes, a sponge, a palette knife and a carry case, our best-selling all-medium set.

  • 15 premium brushes covering every shape and application
  • Includes an artist painting sponge and a professional palette knife
  • Sturdy, easy-to-use carry case
  • High-performance synthetic hair, suits every paint type

One box covers every job in a painting, in any medium, so a beginner is never guessing which brush to buy next and there is nothing else to order before starting. The synthetic hair holds its shape for a clean stroke every time, and washes out of acrylic instead of hardening.

Featured in The Times. Our number one best seller, the reviews below explain why.

60-day guarantee & free returns

You have 60 days after receiving your order to request a return, and returns postage is free: we send you a prepaid label, so sending something back costs you nothing.

Delivery

Free UK delivery on orders over £50.

UK standard £3.95, 2 to 4 working days. UK priority £7.95, 1 to 2 working days. EU £7.95, 5 to 10 working days. Rest of world £10.95, 8 to 12 working days.

Care & longevity

Rinse brushes in lukewarm water straight after painting, reshape the point with your fingers, and dry them flat or bristles-up. Treated this way, a good brush lasts years, not weeks.

The boutique behind it

We are a small family boutique, not a warehouse. Everything we sell is something we would happily paint with ourselves. If it does not meet that bar, it does not go in the box. Questions? Ask us, we paint too.

    Buying for someone else?

    It arrives ready to give

    Every set ships in a box worth keeping, no wrapping needed. Cross £50 and the extras come free: delivery, then set of 5 palette knives, then set of 12 fine detail brushes, all packed alongside your gift.

    Questions, answered

    Everything people ask before they buy

    Is this right for a complete beginner?

    Yes. Most of the painters in our gallery started from nothing, and every kit ships with a printed step-by-step guide written for exactly what is in the box. If a product suits one level more than another, its page says so plainly.

    How do the free gifts work?

    Cross £50 and delivery is free. Cross £55 and set of 5 palette knives is packed in. Cross £65 and set of 12 fine detail brushes joins it. Everything is added to your basket automatically, there is no code to enter.

    How fast is delivery?

    Orders are dispatched within 24 hours. UK standard arrives in 2 to 4 working days (£3.95, free over £50), priority in 1 to 2 (£7.95). We ship to the EU and worldwide too.

    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.

    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.
