Expert Guide to Saving on Artist Canvas, Pads & Specialty Surfaces

The surface you choose defines your work, but high-quality paper and canvas can be one of the biggest ongoing costs for any artist. At Discount Art Supplies, we monitor the UK’s leading art shops like Jackson’s Art, Cass Art, ARTdiscount, and Amazon UK to bring you the most significant price drops on the brands you trust.

Watercolour Paper & Drawing Pads For those who demand the best, we keep a constant eye on professional brands like Arches, Fabriano, and Saunders Waterford. Whether you need 100% cotton rag, cold-pressed blocks, or large format sheets, we hunt for the ‘price-per-sheet’ bargains. We also list daily discounts on everyday sketchbooks and drawing pads from Moleskine, Strathmore, and Winsor & Newton.

Canvas, Boards & Panels Buying canvas in bulk is the best way to save, and we find the best deals on stretched canvas multipacks, canvas rolls, and primed boards. From traditional linen to modern deep-edge cotton, we track a variety of profiles and sizes to suit every style. We also feature discounts on specialty surfaces like wooden cradled panels and mixed-media boards for those who like to experiment.

Why Shop Our Surface Deals? Art paper and canvas are heavy and often incur high shipping costs. Our deal-tracking includes alerts for Free Delivery offers and ‘Flash Sales’ where retailers clear out discontinued sizes.
