25.01.2022 Have you been into our store lately? Come in and visit our beautiful collection of art supplies.

25.01.2022 F I X A T I V E Most people know what fixative is, but we're just going to go ahead and tell you about it anyway, because we love it. With this product all your pencil, pastel and charcoal will stay in place. To use it, we recommend going out side (you don't want to breath it in) and testing the spray before using on a drawing. Once you are happy, prop up your drawing (don't lie it flat, the spay can drip), hold the can 15cms away and spray horizontally, beginning from outside the edges and making sure to end past the edge of your drawing. Give it a moment to dry, then rotate the picture 90 degrees and spray again. Test the smudge level between layers and stop when it no longer smears.

23.01.2022 O I L P A S T E L The Sennelier oil pastel was first made in 1949 for Pablo Picasso who was looking for a medium that could be used freely on a variety of surfaces without fading or cracking. This collaboration produced an incomparable palette of colours that have since been expanded to include iridescent hues. As well as having an extraordinarily high pigment quantity, the oil pastels are made with an extremely pure synthetic binding medium and mineral wax which gives them a uniquely creamy texture and allows for a great deal of freedom in pictorial expression.

22.01.2022 A B S T R A C T Senneliers Abstract is truly a unique product. This acrylic paint has a thick to creamy consistency and stored in a special pouch, which unlike a tube, is incredibly strong and can stand up to pressure even if you accidentally step on it! The paint is also better preserved because air cannot get inside the pouch. Spread it with a brush, palette knife, or straight out of the packet!

21.01.2022 O I L S T I C K Not to be confused with the oil pastel, Senneliers Oil Stick is actually an oil painting medium. By substituting a portion of oil with a neutral mineral wax, the oil paint can be formed into a stick allowing for a freedom of expression and a greater degree of spontaneity. Upon application the paint will dry within 2-5 days. The product may be stored for extended periods of time and requires no special attention. Like conventional oil paint, it can be varnished over after 6 months.

21.01.2022 K I D S A R T have kids to entertain these holidays? We have an affordable range of kid friendly supplies to keep them happy.

20.01.2022 P A S T E L S In the early 1900's, Sennelier spent three years formulating a range of Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" which today consists of over 500 colours. Throughout the century, this range of tones has evolved, but the heart of its making remains unchanged. The pastels continue to provide exceptionally bright colours and smooth application.

20.01.2022 F A T O V E R L E A N The other day I found myself in a conversation with two relatively established artists who were both confused by the term; fat over lean. So, I have decided to just clear things up for everyone. Fat over lean is a rule used by oil painters to determine how to layer their mediums in a painting. A lean medium is one that is heavily thinned with solvents whilst a fat medium has large quantities of oil. You want to apply your leanest mediums at the beginn...ing of the process( i.e. use to apply ground and any under painting) because they dry the fastest whilst your later and final layers should be used with fat mediums, which will create a lustre and dry slower . This image is a rough scale of lean (left) to fat (right) mediums we have in store. We recommend you always read the label of your mediums to determine how best to use. See more

20.01.2022 P R I S M A C O L O R We want to show a bit of love to our favorite coloured pencils. These pencils by Prismacolour are so soft and pigmented its almost like drawing with paint. They blend seamlessly and create flawless gradients. If you like enjoy realism these are the pencils to go with.

20.01.2022 N E W P R O D U C T We are excited to introduce Royal Talens range of Van Gogh watercolours to our stock. These paints are great for getting into watercolour as they provide a wide range of colours for a very affordable price. They have easy colour transfer and are highly light-fast.

17.01.2022 F L U I D A C R Y L I C S Golden's Fluid Acrylics have the same pigment load as the Heavy Body Acrylics, but in a viscosity similar to cream. Fluid allows for smooth continuous applications while retaining color intensity, tinting strength, film integrity, and adhesion. Its flowing characteristic is ideal for dry brush application, fine details, pouring, spraying (particularly when mixed with Golden's Airbrush Medium), staining techniques and many others.

17.01.2022 A B S T R A C T If our post on Abstract paint caught your eye a few weeks ago, this set might be for you. It contains 9 packs of Abstract acrylic paints, 8 paint tips (for creative application straight from the packet), 1 gloss gel medium, 1 brush, one brush soap, an embroided cloth and a DIY colour chart.

17.01.2022 S H O P P I N G Our shelves are overflowing with artistic possibilities! What is on your shopping list?

16.01.2022 G O U A C H E I like to say that gouache is the love child of watercolour and acrylic paint. Like watercolour, it is a watermedia, which means that it can be reactivated by water, this also means you cannot layer it, but like acrylic, it is designed to be applied in dense opaque coats. Gouache is a charming paint that creates beautiful flat and matte images. It is ideal for creating illustrations and graphic artworks.

04.01.2022 The mouth atomiser is a strange contraption for spraying paint. Bend the hinged pipes into an L shape and place the long end into a small pot of paint. Place the short end (with the rubber or wooden tip) into your mouth, and direct the bend toward some paper. When you blow, the air pressure will lift the paint through the pipe and disperse it as a spray onto the paper. Art is such a science!
