Very easy to use with excellent results
Absolutely love these little power crystals. Tiniest amount needed for big impact. I have every single one so far and can’t wait for the next set 😁
Many artists prefer to mix their own greens, but I need a starting point close to the green that I want.
Fresh Green is great for this, different enough from Hookers Green or Sap Green and useful for foliage and fields.
Outrageously green green. Brilliant for sunlight shining through leaves or shockingly bright lawns and hedges. Great to use.
Items were deliverd quickly and good quality
These are outstanding paints. Lovely rich evenly diffusing pigment. They easily rewet and are a joy to paint with.
I gave a demonstration of how these Chrystaline pigments are used and then gave them the opportunity to try them.
They were blown away with how many unique effects they could make both as background and then with brush strokes for a more pictorial finish.
I was concerned this may just be Perylene Green, but not a bit. A dark, rich, moody colour that's perfect for the shaded sides and inners of tree foliage in bright sunlight where I would probably have used a mix of Perylene Green/Paynes Grey or UM Blue/Neutral Tint (of which I have very recently discovered by way of the excellent artist Tim Wilmot).
One could argue that the same result and effect could be achieved by using a dilute mix of Chrome Oxide Green. Quite possibly, but whether you'd get the creamy, misty effect that Terre Vert brings straight from the tube could also be argued. Perfect for misty background washes for forests, woodlands and landscapes and for botanical foliage.
Lovely quality, texture and pigment, as always.
Lovely quality pigment, smooth and rich, as expected. It falls somewhere between the DS range Aussie Red Gold and English Red Ochre but seems to have slightly more radiance and better laying quality.
The paint is of good quality, but the color is different from the photo on the website. It's lighter
Excellent coverage
Lavender
This is a top quality acrylic like the rest of the range. It has a creamy consistency ( Think butter on a summers day.) Opaque and loaded with pigment. Hopefully they will expand the range in time, and make a Zinc/ mixing white.
Ordered the Essentials Set of watercolour brushes. Arrived super quick, and well packaged. Fantastic service from this company as previous orders. The brushes were top quality well made synthetic brushes. Nice handles, held plenty of water, and come to a nice point. Good for detail in my mixed media work. Fantastic!!!

Finest Professional Handmade Gouache
Our water based Gouache paints are specially formulated to use the natural opacity of each artist quality pigment, each colour contains the highest pigment load possible to achieve a smooth, matte, opaque finish without the need to add white pigments
Use straight from the tube with a damp brush for the most opacity or dilute down with water to create lighter washes, mix with titanium white to adjust the shade and add additional opacity
Formulated using the same Hand Picked Kordofan Gum Arabic as our professional watercolours to allow the true beauty of each pigment to shine through at its very best
Available in: 14ml Tubes
Crystalline Watercolour
Artist Quality Flow Formula Acrylics
Made using 100% pure acrylic polymer dispersion, a Rheology Modifier, Vegetable Glycerin to adjust drying time, cosmetic grade preservative and pigment
No extender or fillers are used at all, we believe in letting the natural vibrancy of the pigment shine through and there’s no need to add anything that could adversely effect that
Each colour has been balanced to allow the natural transparency of each pigment shine though
Gloss has been kept to mid levels so it’s not over glossy but no too matte
Each colour has a viscosity similar to a thick cream allowing a smooth application that retains brush strokes
There’s also no ammonia used to “thicken” our acrylics so all you’ll smell is the acrylic polymer as it should be
(Ammonia is an old method used as an alkali along with the Rheology modifier to adjust the Rheology of the acrylic medium and keep it at a PH between 8 - 8.5, this method can be very unstable though so we opted away from this completely and used a new method that’s a lot more PH stable and has no adverse smell (Low VOC’s))
Available in: 56ml Tubes, 125ml pots & 1KG Buckets
Indian Drawing Inks
Fast-drying, Water-Resistant & Lightfast
Formulated with the highest quality artist grade pigments in our superior shellac solution and can be applied with a brush, dip pen or airbrush
