The reason most people never start painting isn't talent. It's the blank-canvas moment. Which brush? Which colour? Where does the first mark even go? So the paints stay in the box, and the idea quietly dies. It was never that you couldn't do it. Nobody ever showed you the first step.
Why acrylic? Because it's the most forgiving paint there is, and we chose it so you don't have to research anything. Mistakes paint straight over instead of ruining the piece. It dries in minutes, so there's no waiting and no mess to manage. It's the paint we'd hand a nervous first-timer every single time.
This kit is built to get you past that first moment. The brushes, paint and paper are matched and ready to go straight out of the box, so nothing fights you. Then the step-by-step guide puts your hand on the brush and walks you all the way to a finished painting, one mark at a time. Your first piece isn't meant to be perfect. It's meant to be finished, and something you're quietly proud of. It will be.
What you'll be able to do in your first few days:
What's inside
You can't get the Beginner's First Painting Guide anywhere else. It's the part that tells you exactly what to do next, brush in hand, instead of staring at a blank page.
Start this weekend, or your money back
Dispatched fast, with free delivery. Paint something you're proud of within 60 days, and if you're not delighted, send it back for a full refund, with return postage on us.
Whether it's the very first time you've held a brush or you're finally starting after years of meaning to, this is everything you need, matched and ready, in one box, with nothing left to figure out.
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 of £50 or more.
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.
