Daniel Smith Watersoluble Oils are HERE! These oils are described as:

Developed for artists who love the creamy feel and rich appearance of classic oil paints but not the toxic solvents or tedious cleanup, Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Oils offer the most finely ground pigments of any water-soluble color line. Made by hand in Seattle, Washington, these vibrant paints are packed with the same premium pigments as Daniel Smith Original Oils, but use a special modified linseed oil binder that cleans up with ordinary water.

Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Oil Paints look identical to their traditional counterparts and offer excellent brushability, a beautiful surface sheen, and uniform drying times. Their color strength is outstanding, even when mixed with Titanium White. For thinning, use water or Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Linseed Oil (or another brand of modified linseed oil). Please note that when you use water, the resulting surface sheen will have a slightly more matte appearance.

Since Daniel Smith does not wish any cadmium paints in their production line, suitable hues are only available in this line for your mixing needs. Any water-soluble cadmium

 

GLOSS WATERBORNE VARNISH  has  returned  to  the  Art  Store!

Varnish provides a layer of protection that resists retention of dirt and dust. A true “varnish” can be removed to facilitate cleaning, and Waterborne Varnish is removable in addition to containing Ultra Violet Light Stabilizers [UVLS] to provide protection from exposure to sunlight.

Our Waterborne Varnish is for use on interior acrylic paintings and can be applied without the need for harsh solvents for thinning, cleanup or removal, or the ventilation and other precautions necessary when working with mineral spirit varnish.

 

Princeton Velevetouch long-handled brushes

  • For watercolor, acrylic, and oil paints
  • Blend of luxury synthetic filaments
  • Soft-touch wood handles
  • Nickel-plated brass ferrules

More than a brush, Princeton Velvetouch is next-generation technology!
Containing a blend of luxurious NextGen synthetic filaments, Princeton Velvetouch Synthetic Brushes are the ultimate mixed media tool for watercolors, acrylics, and oil paints. The Velvetouch line includes a full range of traditional shapes, plus specialty brushes such as long rounds with exceptionally sharp points, oval mops, script liners, and spotters for precise painting and maximum color control.

The NextGen synthetic filament in Velvetouch brushes is the result of seven years of research and development by Naohide Takamoto, a fifth-generation brushmaker and the grandson of the inventor of Taklon, the first artist-grade synthetic brush fiber. Takamoto continues to dedicate himself to the development of synthetics that outperform their natural hair equivalents.

Princeton Velvetouch Synthetic Brush has a soft-finish wood handle to complement the enhanced performance and experience of the Velvetouch filaments, resulting in a brush that feels as good in the hand as it does when applying paint to paper, canvas, and other surfaces.
