What makes a watercolour truly "professional"? While everyone has their own definition, we believe artists deserve watercolour paints that actually deliver on their promises. Tired of marketing claims that fell short, we set out to craft our own fine-art range, so see their uncompromised quality and how they deliver the real creative needs of artists.
Join us in experiencing the pure joy of painting with exceptional Professional Watercolours.

There are many things that makes A J Ludlow Professional Watercolours unique, but the most obvious is our watercolours are packed in clear glass jars. This allows us to have the highest pigment loading, so high its not possible to pack our paints into tubes.

Understanding Xuan Paper: Choosing the Right Chinese Painting Paper for Your Art
When venturing into traditional Chinese and Sumi-e painting, selecting the right paper is just as crucial as choosing your brushes and ink. You may often hear the term “rice paper” as the one to use, but this is not the full story.
Traditional Chinese paper is one of the “Four Treasures of the Study” (文房四寶), which has great significance in Chinese tradition and culture. The types of Xuan paper are varied and cater to different artistic needs
Meiru explains that each type of Xuan paper offers unique properties that can influence the outcome of a painting or calligraphy piece, allowing artists to choose the perfect support for their creative expression.
