Most paintbrushes are designed to be disposable. When the lacquer peels, the wood cracks or the bristles lose their shape, the whole thing gets thrown away. We’ve rethought that. Our Write Off brushes are built for longevity – a durable recycled plastic handle made to last, paired with artist-quality brush heads that can be replaced when worn. Keep the handle. Replace the head. A brush designed to be your creative companion for life.

This set includes five versatile brush shapes:

• Round 2 – Fine detail
• Round 4 – Controlled detail
• Round 6 – The everyday all-rounder
• Round 8 – Loose strokes and generous washes
• Flat ½ in – Washes, blocks and crisp edges
  

Together, they cover everything from delicate linework and botanicals to expressive washes and bold, graphic marks – a complete foundation for watercolour and gouache.

Say hello to the latest addition to our Write Off range: 

• Beautiful handmade brushes made from recycled plastic collected from schools.
• A ‘just right’ weight – perfectly balanced, with a lovely ergonomic shape.
• Artists’ quality, UK made, replaceable synthetic brush heads. No more throwing brushes away!

These joyful, colourful tools are designed to bring a pop of personality to your home studio. Each handle is made from recycled plastic with its own distinctive marbled pattern, so no two brushes look quite the same. They’re a little lighter than our Studio Paintbrushes, but still beautifully weighted, with a softly curved shape that sits comfortably in the hand and makes longer painting sessions feel easy.

Paired with high-quality, replaceable synthetic brush heads, Write Off brushes are made to be used, enjoyed and kept for years to come. Because the tools you use every day should be just as considered – and just as beautiful – as the work you create with them.

From waste to wonder – these are practical tools you can feel good about using.
