Acrylic Gifts In terms of artist paints, acrylic can be seen as the relative new kid on the block, having been developed in the 20th century.

It is made with pigment blended in a synthetic emulsion that can be customised to suit the needs of every kind of visual artist.

The sets we offer reflect this variety - from thick and buttery paints that ooze from the tube, to inks that drip and splatter with intense colour. Acrylic gouache dries matt and velvety and is ideal for flat applications of colour. There are hundreds of acrylic mediums available, allowing you to modify paint so it behaves exactly how you want it to - an intro set is the perfect way to start exploring the possibilities.

Watercolour Brush Sets When it comes to brushes, it’s worth investing in quality. Each of these sets contain brushes that have been hand crafted to guarantee a beautiful brush mark, and with a little care, a long lifespan.

Traditionally, sable hair is used for high quality watercolour brushes because of

16

its ability to hold a lot of liquid and its resilience. More recently, synthetic hair has offered an alternative, and is used for a number of professional quality brush ranges, as well as for natural and synthetic mix brushes.
