Why Choose Daler-Rowney?

• Heritage You Can Trust (Est. 1783): With over 240 years of history, Daler-Rowney isn't just a manufacturer; it's a custodian of art history. The brand's long-standing "Made in England" heritage for many of its core lines guarantees that you are using tools refined over centuries. This consistency is why art teachers across the Emirates recommend Daler-Rowney—they know exactly how the paint will behave every time.
• Tiered Quality for Every Stage: Uniquely, Daler-Rowney bridges the gap between "student" and "professional" seamlessly. Ranges like System3 and Georgian are formulated to offer professional characteristics—like high pigment loads and archival permanence—at a price accessible to students. It means a university student in Sharjah can produce professional-grade portfolio work without breaking their budget.
• Innovation in Pigment Technology: Daler-Rowney constantly pushes boundaries. Their FW Acrylic Inks and System3 ranges utilise modern pigment technology to ensure intense colour saturation and lightfastness. Unlike cheaper craft paints that use fillers, Daler-Rowney products rely on genuine pigments, ensuring that the red you paint today remains the same red decades from now.

FAQs

Are Daler-Rowney products suitable for bulk orders in UAE schools or art studios?

Yes — with a wide variety of pads, paints and tools available in classroom-friendly formats, Daler-Rowney is well-suited for bulk procurement across educational and creative organisations.

Will Daler-Rowney art supplies work well under UAE conditions (classrooms, studios, home art spaces)?

Yes — their quality materials and robust papers/paints are designed for frequent use, and sourcing genuine stock via FEPY ensures performance you can trust.

How quickly can I receive Daler-Rowney products when ordering through FEPY in the UAE?

Delivery timing depends on your location and stock availability, but FEPY prioritises UAE-wide dispatch so your supplies arrive promptly.

If a Daler-Rowney product arrives damaged or incorrect, what is the return policy?

FEPY's standard return and customer-care policy applies. You can request a replacement or refund if an item arrives defective, incorrect or not as described.

Is Daler-Rowney only for art students and professionals, or is it suitable for general stationery use too?

While Daler-Rowney specialises in art materials, many of its products (like sketchbooks, pencil sets and mixed media pads) cross over into general creative stationery use — ideal for schools, offices and hobbyists alike.

Are Georgian Oil paints mixable with water?

No, standard Georgian Oil Colours are traditional oils that require solvents (like turpentine or white spirit) for thinning and cleaning. However, Daler-Rowney does manufacture specific "Water Mixable" oils. Please check the specific tube label on FEPY to ensure you are buying the traditional or water-mixable version suited to your preference.

Can I use Aquafine Watercolour Ink in a fountain pen?

It is generally not recommended to use pigmented inks like Aquafine in standard fountain pens, as the pigment particles can clog the delicate feed mechanisms. These inks are best used with dip pens, brushes, or airbrushes. For fountain pens, look for specialised dye-based inks or fountain-pen-safe pigmented inks.

Is Daler-Rowney suitable for professional commissioned work?

Absolutely. Many professional artists use System3 Acrylics, Georgian Oils, and FW Inks for commissioned pieces due to their high lightfastness ratings and archival qualities. For the absolute highest tier, professional artists might look to the Cryla or Artists' Oil ranges, but System3 and Georgian are widely accepted in the professional art community for their durability and performance.

How long does System3 Acrylic paint take to dry?

System3 Acrylics are fast-drying. Thin films will dry within 10 to 20 minutes, while thicker impasto layers can take an hour or more, depending on the humidity and temperature of your workspace. This speed makes them excellent for classroom environments where work needs to be stored at the end of a lesson.
