How to choose gifts for artists UK shoppers will love

  • Think about how they work – are you looking for gifts for artists who draw, or do they mainly paint in oils and watercolour?
  • Upgrade everyday tools – beautiful palettes, brush rests and pen holders make lovely, practical gifts for artists who paint or sketch.
  • Consider portability – compact workstations and easel boxes are brilliant for kitchen-table creatives and students.
