Adur Art, our reviews are written through the voices of three fictional artists — each representing a different level of experience and approach to painting. They’re not real individuals, but their perspectives reflect how real artists think, paint, and choose their materials.<
We use these creative voices to make our guides more relatable and informative, helping readers find products that suit their own artistic journey.
All reviews are researched, written, and fact-checked by our editorial team using product data, verified user feedback, and hands-on experience where possible.

I love painting and drawing in watercolour, acrylics, oils, and charcoal, and I’ve spent years testing different paints, brushes, and tools. I created this site to help artists of all levels find the best materials so they can enjoy creating without the guesswork.
“Great art starts with the right tools — and a little inspiration!”
We believe artists deserve honest, useful information about the materials they buy. While we earn a small commission from qualifying Amazon purchases, our opinions are always independent and based on internet research and testing. This helps us keep the site running while supporting the wider art community.
