Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What watercolour supplies do I need to start painting in Canada?
Start with a basic palette of primary colours plus earth tones: Phthalo Blue, Quinacridone Magenta, Arylide Yellow Medium, Burnt Sienna, and Payne's Grey. Add Titanium White for mixing. You'll also need watercolour paper, brushes, and water containers. Our Tri-Art pan sets include these essential colours in a portable format.
Are Tri-Art watercolours as good as imported brands?
Tri-Art watercolours are made with the same high-quality pigments as European brands but manufactured in Kingston, Ontario. You get artist-grade performance, excellent lightfastness, and intense chroma without paying import duties or currency conversion. Many professional Canadian artists choose Tri-Art for both quality and supporting local manufacturing.
Can I buy individual watercolour tubes or just sets?
You can buy both individual tubes and complete sets. Individual tubes let you replace specific colours or expand your palette with unique pigments like Phthalo Turquoise or Quinacridone Violet. Sets like our pan collections give you a curated palette in a travel-friendly format. Pans can be refilled from tubes when they run low.
What's the difference between watercolour painting tubes and pans?
Tubes contain wet paint that you squeeze onto a palette, while pans are dried paint cakes you activate with water. Tubes give you more paint volume and intense colour mixing, while pans are portable and convenient for travel or urban sketching. You can create custom pan sets by squeezing tube paint into empty pans.
Do you ship watercolour supplies across Canada?
Yes, we ship watercolour supplies nationwide with free shipping on orders over $89. Tri-Art watercolours are made right here in Kingston, so you're supporting Canadian manufacturing while getting professional-grade supplies delivered to your door. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days.
