WATERCOLOUR PAINT

Our artist quality watercolour paints are perfect for both budding and professional artists looking to create their next piece of artwork. We offer both pan and tube paints from leading brands such as Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, Schmicke and our very own artist quality Cass Art Own Brand, each with their merits depending on your painting technique.

WHAT IS WATERCOLOUR PAINT?

Watercolour paint is made from finely ground pigments combined with a water-soluble binder, traditionally gum arabic. When mixed with water, it creates transparent washes of colour that allow the white of the paper to reflect through the paint.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATERCOLOUR PANS AND TUBES?

Watercolour pans contain dry paint that is activated with a wet brush, making them compact and convenient for painting on the go. Watercolour tubes contain moist paint, making it easier to mix larger quantities of colour and create strong washes. Both can produce professional results.

WHAT WATERCOLOUR PAINTS ARE BEST FOR BEGINNERS?

Beginners can start with a small watercolour set containing a balanced selection of colours. Good-quality student watercolour paints offer an accessible introduction to colour mixing and water control, while professional watercolours generally contain higher concentrations of pigment.
