Jackson's Art UK
Jackson's Art is a UK art supplies retailer selling materials and equipment for artists, students, illustrators and creative hobbyists. Its online shop covers paints, brushes, drawing tools, paper, canvases, printmaking equipment, studio supplies and selected craft materials. The range includes products from established art brands as well as Jackson's own collection of paints, brushes and surfaces.
Paints, Brushes and Painting Supplies
Jackson's stocks oil, acrylic, watercolour, gouache and pastel paints, along with inks, mediums, varnishes and painting accessories. The selection includes products from brands such as Winsor & Newton, Liquitex, Golden, Schmincke and Sennelier.
Its brush range includes options for different paints and techniques, with natural and synthetic bristles, various shapes and sizes, and specialist brushes for watercolour, oil and acrylic work. Palettes, painting knives and other tools are also available.
Drawing, Paper and Canvases
Drawing materials include graphite and coloured pencils, charcoal, pastels, crayons, sketching pens, markers, calligraphy supplies and technical drawing tools. Customers can also find sketchbooks, drawing pads, watercolour paper and specialist surfaces.
Canvas products include stretched canvases, canvas rolls, boards and panels. Different paper weights, textures and surfaces are available for painting, drawing, illustration and mixed-media projects.
Printmaking and Craft Materials
The printmaking range includes lino and relief printing supplies, inks, rollers, cutting tools, plates and selected press equipment. Jackson's also stocks materials for sculpture, modelling, bookbinding and other creative techniques.
Additional craft products and supplies for younger artists are available alongside the main fine art ranges. The selection includes tools and materials for a variety of creative projects, although the choice is more focused on art materials than general hobby and craft retail.
Studio Equipment and Jackson's Own Brand
Studio equipment includes easels, drawing boards, lighting, storage, palettes, workstations and other artist's tools. These products serve both home studios and more established working spaces.
Jackson's own-brand collection includes artist paints, handmade soft pastels, brushes, canvases, papers and painting accessories. The company develops these products in partnership with manufacturers and sells them alongside materials from specialist brands.

From Art Mail Order to Jackson's
Jackson's was launched in London in January 2000 by artist Gary Thompson. Its origins go back to an earlier mail-order art supplies business developed by Thompson and Nick Bell, who began selling Russian oil paints after discovering their quality and affordability.
The business expanded its range of fine art materials and developed an online shop alongside its catalogues. In October 2023, Jackson's acquired Crafty Arts, adding another established name in art and craft supplies to the business.
