Brushes, paints, paper and a printed step-by-step guide are all in the box, chosen to work together, so the first painting actually happens.
You want to give something that gets used, not something that sits in a drawer.
Why this kit fits
It arrives as one complete box with the guide inside, so they can start the day it lands. Sixty days to send it back if it is not right.
You painted years ago and want to pick it up again without hunting for supplies.
Why this kit fits
One box replaces the drawer of dried-up tubes, with nothing missing and nothing to work out.

“An Aladdin's cave of sumptuous art supplies. Their prices are astonishingly good and delivery is fast.”
A complete paint-by-numbers kit, San Francisco, 40cm x 50cm, with everything you need already in the box.
There is nothing to choose and nothing to mix. The canvas is properly primed so the brush grips and glides instead of skidding, which is what keeps you inside the lines even on the finest detail. Every colour you need is already there, numbered, so you finish a real 40 x 50cm painting without needing to draw a thing.
Many people say the methodical, quiet process calms the mind and takes the pressure off: there is no blank-canvas moment and no way to get it wrong. Our founder paints these with his ten-year-old son, who loves watching the picture slowly come together.
The sense of achievement when one is finished is genuinely something, be warned, most people order a second.
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.
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.
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.

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.
