Tips & Techniques
Canvas practice makes perfect
Within each kit comes a series of practice pieces for you to see how the paints and tools feel on the surface of the canvas. This also allows you to try different colour combinations and techniques before committing to your canvas
Let the linen lead
This canvas is a statement on its own. Let it show.
Try leaving large areas unpainted, and build your composition around the natural texture of the surface. It creates contrast, calm, and a high-end gallery feel without doing too much.
Mix your perfect pink or blue
Each palette includes white so you can control the tone. Want something soft and dreamy? Add more white. Want it bold and punchy? Use the colour straight. There’s a surprising amount of range in just two shades.
Use the pastel with purpose
Your soft pastel is here to add something extra: a new layer of texture, or a few bold final marks. Use it dry on top of paint for grainy contrast, or on raw linen for soft, chalky lines. Try pressing harder for a dense pop, or go light for something subtle and airy.
Knife or brush — your call
Use the palette knife for structured, graphic strokes or scraping across dry paint. The round brush is perfect for loose lines or detail, and the flat one works for bold colour blocks or layering. Switch between them as you go, each brings a different rhythm to the canvas.
Minimal tools, endless options
This style isn’t about following a guide. It’s about starting with less and seeing what’s possible. Clean lines, abstract shapes or wild gestures, it’s all welcome. Follow a plan or just see where the colours take you.
Inspiration behind NO5
We built this one around two colours we’ve always loved. One deep navy, one bold magenta. They became our birthday palettes, August and December, and somehow ended up saying something about us too.
Pink isn’t just a colour from childhood. It’s a statement.
Blue isn’t just a favourite. It’s steady, strong, and timeless.
This style is for making art that reflects you. Loud or quiet. Sharp or soft. With just a few tools and a few colours, you can say a lot.
