Winsor and Newton Cotman Watercolour

A reliable student range that holds up well. Good colour range, consistent results and easy to work with. A solid step up if you want something more refined without jumping straight to artist-grade prices.

Mont Marte Artiste Squirrel Mop Brushes

Holds a lot of water and paint, which makes laying down washes easier and faster. If you only grab one brush, a mid-size mop will get you a long way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What watercolour brands are included in the EOFYS sale?

Mont Marte, Kuretake Gansai Tambi, Winsor & Newton Cotman, along with selected brushes and accessories.

Is Kuretake Gansai Tambi good for beginners?

Yes. It's easy to use, highly pigmented and produces strong results without needing advanced technique.

What is the difference between pans and tubes?

Pans are dry and activated with water, making them compact and travel-friendly. Tubes contain wet paint and are better for mixing larger amounts.

Do I need special paper?

Yes. Watercolour paper is thicker and more absorbent, which helps the paint behave properly and prevents buckling.

What brushes should I start with?

A mid-size mop brush is the most useful starting point. It holds enough water and paint to make washes easier.

Does Art Shed ship Australia-wide?

Yes. Orders ship from Moorabbin to all states and territories.
