Paint Brushes

An extension of your body

Buying a new brush feels like giving yourself permission to create again. It’s a small tool, but it unlocks a powerful feeling of ‘I can do this.’ As an urban specialist, we offer a wide range of watercolour brushes, including many designed for travel. When you paint outside you see real colours, light and detail, and you learn to work quickly and confidently.

Kolinsky Sable is prized for its point and control, while Squirrel holds exceptional amounts of water for smooth, even washes. Rosemary & Co offer outstanding value in natural fibres, including options for oils, acrylics and miniatures. Escoda and Princeton lead the way in modern synthetics. Studio artists, printmakers and ceramicists, also love the broad Holbein hakes for expressive washes and surface coverage.

See our Blog for more info on suitable fibres for oils and acrylics, and care tips to preserve your best brushes.
