The details
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.
Delivery
Orders are dispatched within 24 hours on working days. UK delivery is £3.95, and free on orders over £45. Most orders arrive within 2 to 4 working days.
Returns & guarantee
Every order carries our 60-day money-back guarantee. If the brushes are not right for you, send them back and we will refund you in full.

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.

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 £45 and delivery is free. Cross £55 and the brush roll bag is packed in. Cross £65 and the Finesse detail set 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 £45), 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.
