Rembrandt water colors

Rembrandt watercolors truly master the art of transparency. Each color is individually formulated to provide the maximum reflection of light off each pigment. We now carry an "open stock" of these watercolors. Rembrandt is created with the highest concentration of pigment, resulting in expressive, vivid watercolors. Eighty colors make up this marvelous range including Transparent Titanium White, Super Transparent Azo Yellows and Reds, a full range of Transparent Iron Oxides, French Ultramarine and Earth Green for grainy effects. Rembrandt is masterfully produced in Holland.

Golden digital grounds

GOLDEN ARTIST COLORS, INC.
Bring Creative Freedom to Mixed Media Artists

Golden launches Five New Digital Products in the Art Materials Market.
With the addition of five new products from GOLDEN ARTIST COLORS, INC., Digital Mixed Media artists no longer have to work within the confines of commercially prepared substrates to create their artwork. Now artists will be able to turn just about any relatively flat surface into a printable surface, achieving clear crisp images on acrylic skins, metal foils, specialty papers and more. The five new products that, along with existing products, work together as a system include Digital Ground White (Matte), Digital Ground Clear (Gloss), Digital Ground Clear for Non-Porous Surfaces, Gel Topcoat with UVLS (Gloss), and Gel Topcoat with UVLS (Semi-Gloss)
Digital Ground White (Matte) is an opaque, white ground that works well on a variety of surfaces, offering a bright white gesso-like ground.
Digital Ground Clear (Gloss) is a clear ground for use on most absorbent surfaces, allowing the substrate to show through the ground.
Digital Ground for Non-porous Surfaces is a clear ground that offers improved adhesion on non-porous materials, such as aluminum or acrylic panels.
Gel Topcoat with UVLS, available in both Gloss and Semi-Gloss sheens, is a non-removable post-coat offering ultra violet light filters and stabilizers for protection against fading.
