Spring is in the air! There\u2019s no better time to take up an artistic hobby! But choosing the right products and equipment can be overwhelming<\/a>. There are so many options available, and everything looks so good.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re buying for yourself, or as a gift, at SBS we have a range of art supplies<\/a> to suit any budget. Plus, we\u2019re always on hand to help advise you about the best products to suit your needs. Here are a few ideas to help you get started.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watercolour pencils and a sketch pad <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to start an art habit is with watercolour. It is much more forgiving than other types of art, requires less equipment and is a lot easier to learn. Watercolour pencils and a simple sketch pad are a great start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winsor & Newton watercolour pencils are the perfect example. There\u2019s a set of 12 or for a few more options, the set of 24<\/a> is ideal. These pencils are top quality but also user friendly – no complex mixing skills needed to get those shades! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sketch pads<\/a> come in all sizes, right up to big A2 ones. Spiral sketchbooks can be handy as they keep all the sheets together and can be easily slipped into a bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint sets <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of great sets of paints available which are a great place to start if you\u2019re new to painting, or buying a gift for a friend and you aren\u2019t sure what they need. Sets are a safe bet because they contain the basic colours that artists use to mix to create what they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acrylic paints are popular and a 12 colour set such as the one from Daler Rowney<\/a> is both beautiful and practical. The paints come in 12 main colours ranging from black through to white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The travelling artist <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We also have a range of products to suit roving artists! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people that like to go out and about to capture the scenery or visit different places to paint or draw, portfolios and telescopic containers<\/a> are the safest way to protect canvases and sketch pads during travel. These handy containers also often let you add a few art essentials and are also ideal for students<\/a> who are taking art classes and need to take the artwork to their tutor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
