There is a real joy in sketching with simple materials.

Before digital art, before tablets and apps, artists learned with graphite, charcoal and paper. Even now, many professionals still begin every idea with a pencil sketch.

These Faber-Castell sketching sets are brilliant for anyone wanting to improve their drawing skills, experiment with shading or simply slow down and enjoy being creative for an hour or two.

Charcoal and graphite are perfect for learning light, shadow, texture and form, and you do not need expensive equipment to get started. Just a sketchbook, a pencil and a bit of patience.

At Dawsons Art Supplies in Lytham St Annes we stock art materials for complete beginners through to experienced artists, with plenty of advice if you are not sure where to begin.

Sometimes the simplest tools create the best artwork.

There is something timeless about model kits.

Long before mobile phones and endless scrolling, people were sitting at kitchen tables building Spitfires, tanks, racing cars and ships piece by piece. Now a whole new generation is discovering the same hobby.

Model making is relaxing, creative and surprisingly rewarding. It teaches patience, focus and attention to detail, and there is nothing quite like seeing a finished build sat proudly on the shelf knowing you made it yourself.

From Airfix classics to detailed military armour and iconic cars, Dawsons Art Supplies in Lytham St Annes has kits for beginners and experienced modellers alike, along with paints, tools and supplies to bring them to life.

Some hobbies never go out of style.

Thinking about trying acrylic painting but not sure where to start?

Starter sets like this are a great way to begin without spending a fortune on individual paints and brushes. You get a range of colours, brushes, palette knives and mixing trays all in one box, making it much easier to just sit down and create.

Acrylic paints are one of the most beginner friendly mediums around. They dry quickly, work on canvas, paper, wood and crafts, and they are brilliant for experimenting with colour and texture.

At Dawsons Art Supplies in Lytham St Annes we stock creative kits for beginners right through to experienced artists, so there is always something new to try.

Sometimes the hardest part is simply starting.

Hi all. Calling out to all 16-21 year olds.

Our daughter, Emily, is looking for a Personal Assistant to take her out and about.

It’s up to 5 hours per week - preferably Saturdays (but that’s flexible), occasionally an evening during the week or some time after school.

She loves shopping, sushi, Starbucks, shows and the cinema, and she would love to have someone around her age (17 soon!!!) to do these things with her.

She’s full of sass and fun, so you’d never be bored.

If anyone is interested, or you know someone who would like to spend time with our fabulous girlie, send me a message or comment below.

Thank you lovely people 🥰

Creative hobbies are one of the few things where there is no real right or wrong way to do it. You improve by experimenting, making mistakes and enjoying the process along the way.

Soft pastels and oil pastels each have their own style, and both can produce incredible artwork.

Soft pastels are brilliant for blending, shading and creating atmospheric pieces with rich texture and depth. Oil pastels give bold colour, strong lines and a more vibrant layered finish.

At Dawsons Art Supplies we stock a wide selection from trusted brands including Faber-Castell, Winsor & Newton and Seawhite, whether you are experimenting for the first time or adding to an established art kit.

One of the best things about traditional art materials is that every artist uses them differently. The same set can create completely different styles depending on the person holding them.

If you enjoy drawing and colour work, come and explore the range in our Lytham St Annes shop.
