Did you miss out on the COVID-art craze? It\u2019s not too late to start a new hobby! Get started this summer and maybe the kids will get involved too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help you plan what you want to do, here are some of the most popular essential items from our shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter what kind\u00a0of\u00a0art you want to try, there are a few things you\u2019ll need before you start.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Top of the list is paint! We stock a variety of paints for different types of projects. One of the most popular is the\u00a0Winsor and Newton Galeria Acrylic Paint<\/a>. It comes in a handy 60ml tube and there are a wide range of\u00a0colours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are more of a\u00a0watercolour\u00a0fan and want to be able to create art on the move, then\u00a0watercolour pencils<\/a>\u00a0are perfect. These easily blend with a little water to create that classic\u00a0watercolour\u00a0look but can also function as sketching pencils too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting the right brush for any project and paint type is also important but a good way to solve the problem is to buy a pack! This collection of\u00a0Winsor and Newton Oil Brushes<\/a>\u00a0includes 6 different brushes for oil-based paints and is one of the brush sets we stock.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside paint, something to paint onto is also crucial. Sketch pads are an ideal solution and come in a range of sizes. The\u00a0Daler Rowney A3 pad<\/a>\u00a0is ideal for larger projects or if you want to try a few things at once. There\u2019s also a smaller\u00a0A5 mixed media pad<\/a>\u00a0that is perfect for sketching on the move.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to create larger pieces of art, then you\u2019ll need canvases. The\u00a0Seawhite 70x70cm stretched canvas<\/a>\u00a0can work for a variety of different art types and is one of a range of sizes we have in stock.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n While paints and canvas or sketch pads are definitely at the core of any art project, there are a few other items you might want to consider stocking up on before you start.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Card and mountboard can be the foundation for a project, or simply a finishing touch. We offer products such as the\u00a0Goldline A1 mountboard<\/a>\u00a0and a full range of\u00a0Clairefontaine Maya A1\u00a0card<\/a>\u00a0with a rainbow of\u00a0colours\u00a0to work for any project.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you create your art at home or on the move you\u2019ll want to protect it. That\u2019s where the A3 Jet Sleeves<\/a> come in. There are 5 in a pack to protect multiple projects and their dark colour means sunlight can\u2019t affect items inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer to see what\u2019s inside, the\u00a0Mapac A3 coursework carrier<\/a>\u00a0is ideal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nWatercolour\u00a0pencils\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
