Schmincke soft pastels cardboard, set 30 pastels

Working with Schmincke’s finest extra soft pastels will give you a completely unique drawing experience. They have an incredibly high concentration of top quality pigment powder held together by the absolute minimum amount of binding agent - just enough to ensure that they remain a stable compound. Unlike many pastels on the market they also do not contain chalk or additives which helps keep their colouration pure and consistent throughout each pastel. This stripped back recipe results in such soft pastels that Schmincke had to design a costly and time consuming manufacturing process to stop them breaking. Each lump of pre-kneaded pastel dough is rolled into rounded skeins which are sectioned by hand and laid onto a sheet. The skeins are then cut by hand with a wire-strung frame and transferred onto wooden palettes where they are left to dry for around 2 weeks. By this time they are so soft that they need to be wrapped by hand and gently placed in their foam packaging.Contains 30.

FW Artist's acrylic Ink 29.5ml

The major development of inks in recent years has been the increasing use of pigments and acrylic resins. The difference between the dye-based inks and the pigmented inks are a slight reduction in colour intensity, but much improved resistance to fading. FW Artists’ Ink is an acrylic-based, pigmented, water-resistant ink (on most surfaces) in a range of 38 colours, all of which have either a 3 or 4 star rating for permanence. Such a high degree of lightfastness over such a range of fully intermixable colours makes them ideal for use by artists in the production of pictures for permanent display. Equally, however, colours can be substantially diluted to achieve the most subtle of tones, very similar in character to watercolour. Such washes will dry to a water-resistant film on virtually all surfaces and successive layers of colour can be laid over. FW Artists’ Inks work well through airbrushes and technical pens.

Da Vinci Cosmostop Spin Watercolour, 5580

Da Vinci Cosmotop-Spin is a golden fibred brush made up from a blend of 5 different diameters of extra smooth synthetic hair. This unique brush is popular for its water-holding capacity and excellent value in large sizes. Da Vinci built specialized machines that can sort synthetic hair in varying diameters, and this sorted hair is then turned over to a master brushmaker who hand shapes the CosmoTop Spin. The thicker hair is placed on the outside and the thinner hair in the middle to ensure high colour absorption while maintaining a fine point, stable shape, and good spring. The brush fibres are held in place by a seamless nickel-plated brass ferrule with a short red lacquered handle. Ergonomic lacquered handles allow for maximum painting control and the ferrules are rust-resistant. The result is a high-quality and durable synthetic brush for artists.
