Figure 1: The two painted designs in this painting kit.

Whether you are a beginner or growing your skills, bring the charm of these beloved birds and their quirky personalities to life with the two designs in this delightful watercolour painting kit (as shown in figure 1). The first painting helps you capture an inquisitive puffin standing proudly atop a grassy, rugged sea cliff, looking curiously over its shoulder, whilst the other celebrates companionship set against a sunny, wild coastal landscape.So, enjoy these two uplifting and rewarding painting projects and let these charming adorably clumsy “land-lubbers” inspire your next masterpiece!

What Makes This Kit Different?

• Three of our pure single-pigment watercolours, so you can learn the art of colour mixing. Because there are no muddy fillers, these three primary paints blend into a vast spectrum of clean, brilliant shades without going dull (as can be seen in the chart below).
• Paint on heavy 425gsm Saunders Waterford 100% Cotton Paper, with pre-drawn pencil outlines. There is no need to tape down or stretch this museum-quality paper as it stays flat, holds water beautifully, and gives you the exact surface professional watercolourists rely on.
• Two hand-crafted artisan brushes, designed to control water for smooth washes, and fine detail.
• Step-by-Step easy to follow paint-along-instructions, as well as access to online video tutorials, help you complete your paintings with confidence.
• Packaged in a durable, reusable, and fully recyclable zero-waste eco envelope. It protects your painting kit in transit and doubles as a protective portfolio to store your finished artwork and in-progress paintings.
