The details
Crafted for artists who value character as much as performance, this beautifully tactile paper brings a sense of authenticity to every piece you create.
Each pack contains 25 A4 sheets in five rich, earthy tones – Aubergine, Slate, Mustard, Cocoa and Fawn. Every sheet is individually handmade, finished with a naturally deckled edge, meaning no two are ever quite the same. Subtle variations in texture, size and shape give your work a distinctive, organic feel that machine-made paper simply can't replicate.
Made from 100% recycled cotton rag, the paper has a smooth surface with a substantial weight of 220–250gsm, making it highly versatile across a wide range of media. It's ideal for watercolour, inks, gouache, pencil and soft media, and can also be used for oil painting when prepared with gesso.
Beyond fine art, this paper lends itself beautifully to craft and design projects – from wedding stationery and greeting cards to bookbinding and printmaking. Its natural texture and tonal depth elevate even the simplest ideas into something truly special.
Produced by skilled artisans in Northern India using traditional techniques, each pack is thoughtfully finished in recycled kraft wrapping and is 100% acid-free, ensuring your work stands the test of time.
Why you'll love it:
- 25 handmade A4 sheets in 5 distinctive colours
- 100% recycled cotton rag – sustainable and characterful
- Deckled edges for a beautifully organic finish
- 220–250gsm weight for versatile use across wet and dry media
- Ideal for artists, illustrators, designers and craftspeople
- Acid-free for long-lasting results
A paper with presence, personality, and purpose, ready to elevate whatever you create.

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.

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.

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.

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.
