Our Brands

Colart is home to some of the most iconic brands in the art supply industry. Winsor & Newton, Liquitex, Reeves, Lefranc Bourgeois, Conte à Paris and Snazaroo are just a few examples of our extensive portfolio.

Winsor & Newton has been producing high-quality paints since 1832. Their watercolours are renowned for their vibrancy and transparency while their oil paints offer exceptional colour intensity and consistency.

Liquitex was founded in 1955 as the first water-based acrylic paint brand on the market. Today it continues its legacy as an innovator with its range of professional-grade acrylics including Heavy Body Acrylics which have a thick buttery consistency ideal for impasto techniques or use with palette knives.

Reeves has been producing quality art supplies since 1766 when William Reeves started making his own colours from pigments he ground himself by hand. Today Reeves offers everything from watercolours and acrylics to pastels and sketching pencils.

Lefranc Bourgeois was founded in Paris over two centuries ago by Jean-Baptiste Lefranc who created his own pigments using traditional methods still used today by Lefranc Bourgeois' master craftsmen who produce fine oil colours using only pure pigments mixed with linseed oil or safflower oil depending on each pigment's properties.

Conte à Paris produces some of the finest drawing materials available today including charcoal sticks made from natural willow charcoal which gives them excellent tonal range while being easy-to-use even for beginners; pastel pencils which allow you greater control than traditional soft pastels; graphite pencils ranging from hard H grades through soft B grades up into extra-soft 9B grade perfect for creating deep blacks or subtle greys; coloured pencils made using high-quality pigments giving you bright vibrant colours that blend easily together without smudging or fading over time; crayons suitable for both drawing outlines or filling large areas quickly thanks to their smooth texture allowing you full control over your artwork at all times!

Snazaroo is one of our newer brands but already it has become one of our most popular! Snazaroo face paints are perfect for children's parties Halloween costumes school plays festivals sporting events charity fundraisers corporate events etc... They come off easily with soap-and-water so there's no need worry about staining clothes furniture carpets etc... And because they're non-toxic hypoallergenic dermatologically tested safe use even sensitive skin types!
