Snail mail just got a serious upgrade. The Art Spectrum 100% Cotton Watercolour Postcards are 10 A6 cards of 300gsm, cold pressed, 100% cotton watercolour paper, with a blank, art ready front and pre printed address lines on the back.

Paint the view from your holiday, a garden flower or the dog doing something ridiculous, then send it to someone you love. A painted postcard beats a text message every single time.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Paint a few backgrounds at once. Lay out all ten cards, wash in skies or soft colour fields across them, and let them dry. Later you only need ten minutes to add a boat, a tree or a little figure, and you always have a nearly finished card ready to go.

These are a travel sketcher's dream. A packet of ten slips into the same bag as your paint box and brush, and every card is a finished, giftable painting rather than a page in a book nobody sees. Art Spectrum suggests watercolour, gouache or pigmented inks, and we agree.

They also make the most charming Christmas cards you will send this year. Paint a simple wreath, a bauble or a beach Christmas scene, add your message on the back and you are done. Pair them with a small palette from our watercolour paint sets or a few tubes of gouache.

Why We Love These Postcards

  • Real cotton paper. 300gsm, 100% cotton, so washes behave beautifully even at postcard size.
  • Ready to send. Pre printed address lines on the back.
  • Travel friendly. Ten cards in a protective cardboard envelope.
  • A gift in itself. Paint one, post it and make someone's day.

How We Use Them

Tape the card to a small board with a narrow border of masking tape. It keeps the card flat while you paint and leaves a crisp white frame when you peel the tape away.

Let the paint dry completely before writing on the back. To protect the painting on its journey, slip it into a clear sleeve or an envelope.
