Daler Rowney Graduate is an affordable range of water-based paints and mediums, which is ideal for amateurs and students needing performance and reliability. Daler Rowney created the Graduate collection specifically to help beginnera and students who want to practice and perfect their skills, particularly with acrylic and oil painting.
White gesso is an important paint medium which is needed to get your canvas ready for painting. It is very similar to white acrylic paint but is thinner meaning it can be applied easily and smoothly. Without gesso your paint will soak into the weave of the canvas. Daler Rowney Graduate White Gesso is affordable, reliable and easy to use.
The white gesso can be applied to many surfaces, and once dried will be ready to paint on with Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic colours, which have very good pigment strength and flow easily across paper and primed surfaces or canvas. These fast-drying, medium-body colours are smooth, easy to use, and mix well together over the white gesso itself.
“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”

“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”
– Graham
“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”
– Chantelle
“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
