Wallace Seymour Fine Art Products - Authentic Materials, Exceptional Results

Some paint is made in factories by people who've never picked up a brush. Wallace Seymour is made by two painters who got frustrated with exactly that.

Pip Seymour and Rebecca Wallace are based near Settle in the Yorkshire Dales. Both trained artists. Both deeply opinionated about what paint should do. They started Wallace Seymour because the paints available to them — plastic sheen, difficult to work with, quality compromised for margin — weren't good enough. So they made their own.

Their reference point was Titian. The golden age of painting. The quality of materials that serious artists haven't had reliable access to for generations. Every pigment is sourced specifically — from specialist suppliers worldwide, from quarries across the north of England, from geological formations with names that end up on the tubes. Moughton Whetstone. Torridon Sandstone. Hangman's Ochre. These aren't novelty names. These are the actual pigments, from the actual places.

Every paint is hand-milled in small batches. Every recipe is a trade secret. Nobody is rushing anything.

Wallace Seymour will not supply large chain stores. Deliberately. Because they believe independent art shops matter — that once they're gone, they're gone. If you want Wallace Seymour paint, you find an independent stockist.

We are one of those stockists.

We stock the full Wallace Seymour range at Craft and Canvas — watercolours, oils, and acrylics. If you want to know which colours to start with, or what makes a particular pigment worth the price, come in and ask. That conversation is genuinely what we're here for.
