Jackson’s Handmade Soft Pastels are high quality, artist grade pastels. There are 200 soft and bright colours in the range, as well as a wide variety of themed selection sets.

Our Soft Pastels are made carefully by hand which makes them very soft with a smooth, buttery consistency. They have a low binder to pigment ratio which makes them rich and luminous, allowing for both subtle and bold mark making.

The pastels are made solely from pigments, a bentonite clay binder, and calcium carbonate (chalk). Each pastel measures approximately 55mm in length and 15mm in diameter.

Yupo Translucent Watercolour Paper will help you see colour from a new perspective. Its ultra-smooth surface is a great starting point for a variety of media including watercolour, alcohol ink, acrylic, monotype, offset printing, oil pastel, and graphite.

Yupo Translucent is a non-porous, acid-free, and pH-neutral synthetic paper which is machine-made in the US from 100% polypropylene. It is completely water and stain-proof and has become a unique alternative to traditional art papers due to its strength and durability. This paper resists tearing or buckling and there is no need to stretch or treat the paper before you start work.

The super smooth surface allows you to build up nuances and patterns that would normally be impossible to achieve on traditional watercolour and drawing paper.

Graduate Acrylics offer a very affordable range of acrylic colours. The range features bright and strong colours that are easy to brush onto surfaces. They can be used on any paper surface, primed board or canvas, used indoors or outdoors and are so versatile they can also be used with a variety of acrylic mediums, also available from Daler-Rowney. There are 48 colours in the range, including metallic colours.

Graduate Acrylic colours are of good pigment strength and flow easily across paper and primed surfaces. Colours are water-based and contain no solvents. In accordance with EC labelling regulations, all colours are classified as non-dangerous for use.

The advantage of acrylic colours to schools and hobbyists, of course, is that artwork can be dried and stored away shortly after an art class has been completed, and will not smudge if water is spilled on the surface of the painting. The colours are fast-drying, durable and flexible, so paintings will last a long time. Paper and canvas coated with Graduate Acrylic can be loosely rolled and stored without fear of cracking.

With waste of colour in mind, Daler–Rowney have developed a unique packaging for Graduate Acrylic colours. All colours come in a 500ml squeezable pot that has a lid with a unique valve mechanism and stay-clean technology to dispense the colour, so only what is needed comes out of the pot, minimising the waste in the classroom, workshop or at home!

Hog brushes are one of the most widely-used brushes for oil painting. While lower cost bristle brushes are boiled to straighten hairs and then bleached to uniform the colour, Shiro brushes do not undergo boiling and have only minimal bleaching in order to prolong the lifespan of the brush and maintain the strength of the hair. This also means that they retain natural curve and cuticle, which is essential for achieving the very best shape and spring. As with all natural materials, care must be taken to ensure brush life is optimised, so please remember to always wash brushes in lukewarm water and to store with the brush head away from other surfaces in an airy and shaded environment.

Jacksons Two Rivers Handmade Watercolour Paper : NOT surface : 200lb : 22x30in : single sheet Made exclusively for Jackson s by the Two Rivers paper mill in Somerset. This paper is conservation quality, made with 100% cotton and linen rag and very hard sized. This means that the surface is incredibly tough, allowing the artist to work the surface for much longer than with more absorbent artists papers. Because the paint is not drawn into the paper the pigment dries to a sharp and brilliant finish. The inclusion of linen in its make-up results in an unusually tough surface which will resist much lifting out, scrubbing and re-working. Reassuringly, the 400 year old mill is also hydro powered making it very environmentally friendly. TR has a unique random surface texture unlike the mechanically even weave of most other branded papers. This also means that there is not a right or wrong side as both sides are identical. As well as watercolour, our papers are used for other media including pastels, oils, printmaking, photographic processes and many types of mixed media. The NOT surface is slightly rougher than most.
