Watercolour

Buy the best paint you can afford

These pigment rich paints give you more pigment per mL and better results. You can start small with pans and then move onto tubes as you gain experience and look for more colours. We recommend DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolours, which are known for their granulation, available in artist sets which simplify colour selection, 15mL tubes and 12ml sticks. For the best value artist grade pigments, see WHITE NIGHTS Artist's Watercolours from St Petersburg, available in travel palettes, full sized pans and 10mL tubes. Best value beginner watercolour set for adults is WHITE NIGHTS Metal Set 12 and for students, SONNET Watercolours.
