The pocket-sized Kaweco Special Short mechanical pencil is ideal for precise and graphic drawing. With its comfortable 10 mm diameter, the pencil sits comfortably in the hand and prevents fatigue while writing. Its handy 10.5 cm length makes it ideal for travel. Its high-quality, precise mechanism is made in Japan.
Why we like it: Beautifully balanced and a pleasure to use, this compact mechanical pencil feels solid in the hand without being heavy. The matte black aluminium body has a satisfying weight and precision to it, with a minimal octagonal design that looks as good as it writes. Ideal for travel, notes, or fine drawing and built to last.

Pilot G-Tec C4 Microtip Gel Pen

I bought this brush some time ago based on a recommendation from someone— can't remember who though. I then forgot about it until I received a request to write a review from The Southbank Art Company. I've now tried it, and I've found it to be a lovely brush to use. It lays down the paint beautifully. It also holds a lot of paint enabling continued use without having to return to the palette so often. The point of the brush is good too, giving a lovely narrow lines where necessary.
I'll continue to use this brush, and will probably look at buying other sizes too.

Great experience. The staff were really kind, you can tell they genuinely care about creativity and the people walking in the door. It made the whole experience feel that much more personal. My order came to less than it would have cost from Winsor & Newton directly, which made it possible to get everything I needed without compromising on quality. Great selection, thoughtful service, and a warm atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!
