You showed up in the most beautiful way.

When we invited you to celebrate World Watercolor Month with us, you filled our email with your love for watercolor, your stories, and your excitement.

Reading every single email replies reminded us that Blue Pine Arts has always been about more than paints and paper.
It’s about the artists who bring them to life.

Today, we’re announcing ONE lucky giveaway winner… 🤍

But we couldn’t let everyone else leave empty-handed.

So here’s our little gift to you…

✨ Welcome to The Paper Affair Event. ✨

For the next 4 days only, i.e., from July 17 -20th, we’re adding extra sheets to every pack of our BPA Imperial Plus Watercolor Paper.

🌸 Buy 10 BPA Imperial PLUS Watercolor sheets and receive 2 extra sheets FREE.
🌸 Buy 15 BPA Imperial PLUS Watercolor sheets and receive 3 extra sheets FREE.

Whether you’re binding your sketchbook, painting your next masterpiece for exhibitions, planning a collection, or simply collecting archival paper (we know the feeling 😉), we hope this little surprise brings you a little more joy to create.

The offer is now live at bluepinearts.com. Shop any pack, and we’ll include your free sheets with your order. (No coupon code needed)

We can’t wait to see what you’ll paint next. 💛

Important note: We got loads of requests to open pre-orders for our small-batch artisanal paints, and you know we always listen to our community, AKA YOU!

Placing a pre-order puts you on the priority list when we resume paint-making in September.

Heads up: Paint pre-orders are expected to ship in late September, and any paper products in the same order will ship at the same time. To receive your papers sooner, please place them in a separate order.

GOOD NEWS - Our handmade watercolor paints are now available for pre-orders!🥳🥳🥳

Many of you asked if there was a way to reserve your favourite colours while production is paused... and now there is. 💛

Pre-orders are open from 8th July to 1st September 2026.

I give up!

Instead, I’m giving IN and finally deciding to collaborate with nature.

(A quick carousel TLDR:)

We are pausing production of our non-shimmer paints between June 5 – August 15.

Monsoon humidity changes the way these paints dry and cure, and after years of trying to fight the weather… I’ve accepted that nature usually wins.

So if you’ve had your eyes on our artist-grade handmade watercolors created with honey, traditional methods, and thoughtfully chosen lightfast pigments, NOW is the time to bring them home. ✨

Comment “PIGMENTED” and I’ll send you the link to shop them before the monsoon pause begins.
