Colophony
Starting at: £7.30
Colophony is a by-product of the distillation of turpentine. It is soluble in most solvents, but considered an adulterant in varnishes and paints, as it forms a weak surface that is prone to darkening and cracking. It is, however, a key ingredient in wax-based etching grounds, imparting hardness, and can be used in powdered form (rosin) to make aquatints. Learn More -

Lefranc Flashe 125 ml
Starting at: £13.95
Flash vinyl colours, like resin-based acrylic paints, can be diluted with water, dry very quickly and become insoluble once dry providing lasting flexibility and excellent preservation. They have an even matt finish which recalls primitive Italian fresco painting. This makes Flashe the ideal medium for all artworks to be photographed. Also popular for illustration, graphics, comics, model making, fresco and interior mural decoration. Learn More -

Gum Sandarac
Starting at: £8.60
Gum Sandarac, derived from a coniferous tree, is available in powdered or lump form. It can be dissolved in alcohol to create a varnish that is suitable as an isolating layer in oil painting and as a traditional top coat for egg tempera. It forms a brittle layer, so is only suitable for use on a rigid support. Another application is as a surface preparation for calligraphy; the ground gum can be dusted across a piece of prepared vellum or paper to create a resist, which shrinks ink strokes slightly, making them appear finer, with crisp edges.

Gum Damar
Starting at: £10.00
Damar is a pale, almost colourless tree resin, which is soluble in turpentine, but not in alcohol or mineral spirits. It can be used as a varnish or as a glossy painting medium in conjunction with vegetable oils, and is generally preferable to other resin-based varnishes, such as mastic varnish, as it retains its colourless appearance for a longer period of time. In encaustic painting, the inclusion of damar resin imparts toughness and gloss to the paint surface. Learn More -

Kaweco Brass Sport Fountain Pen
Starting at: £80.00
The Kaweco Sport was first designed in 1911 as a pocket fountain pen which could be carried everywhere. It has an octagonal design and an oversized cap. Kaweco Sport fountain pens measure only 10.5 cm when closed, but when the cap is mounted on top of the barrel they become a 13 cm-long, standard-sized pen, hence the slogan: "small in the pocket, large in the hand". The Kaweco BRASS Sport fountain pen is made of solid, untreated, CNC-machined brass, which will age and develop its own unique patina over time unless polished. It is hand assembled in Germany and comes in a Kaweco gift tin. The nib is made in Germany. A standard international ink cartridge is included. Learn More -
