FEED THE ARTISTIC SOUL WITH PAINT FROM MICADOR GROUP

Originally made from basics of water and stone, paint has come a long way. Vincent Van Gogh once said, “Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter’s soul.” The products an artist uses should feed the soul. Micador Group believes that artists’ products should cause creativity.

The Roymac brand, part of the Australian owned family business Micador Group, provides one of Australia’s favourite ranges of products for artists. The market leader in brushes for artists since 1960, Roymac uses its knowledge and experience to create colour products that you will love to create with. They are what artists want.

Roymac Rains Watercolour Paint draws its roots from Australian water and Australian stones. Its colour range illustrates the burnt Australian Outback, while its fine quality single pigments illustrate a contemporary level of painting excellence. High quality binders keep the pigments moist and hold the colour well when diluted, also allowing for easy lifting of colour to reveal the undertone. The paint has excellent lightfastness and terrific granulation for atmospheric effects. The paint blends easily without disturbing the transparency and the pigments magnificently allow richness of colour going from dark to light with vivid lucidity.

The range was developed in conjunction with renowned Australian watercolourist, Terry Jarvis, who now works exclusively with Roymac Rains Watercolours and Roymac Rains Watercolour Paper and Roymac Brushes.

Another quality watercolour paint brought to you by Micador Group is the Koh-i-noor Watercolour Discs. Koh-i-noor is Central and Eastern Europe’s largest art, school and office stationery manufacturer and Micador Group is proud to be the exclusive Australian partner of a brand whose products have been based on quality and tradition since 1790. Koh-i-noor Watercolour Discs provide an excellent palette of colours to suit both landscape and portrait watercolourists. Each disc contains six long-lasting watercolours with quality pigment. The discs twist together to form a compact, organised tower, making the product an ideal field kit. The range also includes Brilliant 12s with truer colour and brighter pigments.

Micador Group is greatly encouraged that recently introduced cheap Chinese copies of the discs have only caused a positive increase in sales of the real thing.

As an artist, you know that a complementing relationship between yourself and your paint is important – which is why Roymac and Koh-i-noor have done the work for you. They have created quality products that you will love to create with, so all you need to do is focus on adding light to the canvas. Your creativity – and the products to help you – will do the rest.
