Professional Watercolour Paints FAQs

Why choose watercolour paint?

Watercolour paint is very popular among both hobbyists and professional artists for many reasons, including:

Delicate feel - due to the way it reflects light, watercolour helps create unique artwork with a soft, ethereal feel. Watercolour requires lots of water to achieve its full potential, leading to a more spontaneous, fluid approach to painting.
Small and portable - all you need is a small watercolour set, a brush, a small water container, and your canvas, and you're set to paint anywhere! This is perfect for those who love the spontaneity of outdoor sketching or painting while travelling.

How do I get started with watercolour painting?

If you’re new to this medium and unsure where to start, our introductory guide to watercolours is a must-read. Check our blog for further resources such as our:

Natural or synthetic brushes - which should I choose for watercolour painting?

Paint brushes come in two options, natural and synthetic hair, and the hair type choice purely depends on your needs and preferences.

Synthetic fibres have seen great advancement in recent years and are now able to match the qualities of natural hair, with many giving the same feel and effect.

Natural fibres tend to be delicate and hold their shape well. They excel in oil and watercolour painting, but are not very compatible with acrylics. They require a lot more care, but the effort might be worth it for the amazing brushstroke textures you can achieve.
