FAQs

What is Urban Sketching? Sketching on location instead of from photos. Cafes, parks, travel, your desk at home, whatever’s in front of you.

Will the ink run when I paint over it? No. Once dry, the ink is waterproof and fadeproof.

What’s does ‘artist grade’ watercolour mean? Higher pigment and less filler. Colours mix better and appear stronger on paper.

Is the paper thick enough for watercolour? Yes. The 150gsm is chosen to handle light washes and everyday sketching.

What happens when I run out of paint? You can refill colours individually using pans or tubes.

Is this good for travel? Yes. The whole kit is compact and easy to carry.

Is this the same as the Sketch Kit? No. This version adds the watercolour components.

Optional add-on: The Haco-Biz Stand-Up Case fits this kit perfectly and turns it into a portable studio. Not included in base kit.

People don’t stop sketching because of lack of ability. Usually it’s because the setup becomes too complicated, too messy, or too hard to carry around. This compact kit is designed to make it easier to start and easier to keep going.
