Tradition. The original formula handed down through generations exactly as it had been conceived. Oil plus pigment, period. Faithfully carrying through time the elements required by master painters united in seeking fine execution and quality mediums. Historic tonalities, unattainable mixtures, tints now impossible to find whose roots are in the Italian painting that the whole world admires and extols. Like a force abiding by transcendent principles, flowing through the ages. Artisti still bears the label of the A series that Gianni Maimeri designed in 1923. One hundred and two colours, in a balanced division. Five differently toned whites. Seventeen natural earth tones. Three chrome yellows. No colours with low light resistance. No substance considered harmful is used.

MaimeriBlu features an absolute purity of pigments that, together with gum arabic, compose the totality of the mixture. Imperceptible, transparent, clean. No blending powders, and no additives. Nothing harmonises or synchronises the shift between the various shades. The real value lies in the transparency of its colours and in the freshness of its washes. It is the whiteness of the paper that illuminates this type of painting. The light is behind the colour.

Traditionally crafted and triple-milled in England, Georgian Oil Colours provide colour consistency from wet to dry and an even performance and finish across all colours.

With a smooth and buttery consistency, Georgian Oil Colours are ideal for experimenting with different brush and knife techniques. They are intermixable and have high pigment loads, including traditional pigments such as cadmium and cobalt. Georgian Oil Colours generally require very limited quantities of medium, so they can be used straight from the tube. All colours are lightfast and rated as Excellent (****) or Good (***). The surface is typically dry in 4 to 5 days.

Classic Colours are fantastic, vibrant colours which are as easy to apply as they are to remove.

Made from tiny particles of mica, mica powders provide a pearly, metallic look without metal. Mica powders are non-toxic and color fast, with a neutral pH, and though you wouldn't want to purposefully inhale them, they are less dangerous than metal pulvers. Available in a wide array of colors, mica powders have numerous uses for polymer clay artists as well as those who work in other media. They can be applied dry to the surface of raw clay, mixed into raw clay, painted onto raw or cured clay (though most will have to be mixed into a moist medium, first), and so on. Most surface applications will need a coat of polymer clay-friendly finish to prevent the powders from gradually rubbing off.
