Gamblin Art Sketching Oil Colors

ARCH is now stocking Gamblin Art Sketching Oil paints. Created specifically for those learning how to control colors in oil paint, Gablin ASO colors are made from the same finest quality pigments that Gamblin is known for. Made with no gelling agents, they have the more traditional feel of Gamblin Artists' Grade oil colors.

Available in an array of colors (including genuine Cadmium and Cobalt colors), ARCH is stocking the 150ml tubes, perfect for students looking for quantity, quality and economy.

Learn on the Gamblin ASO colors, and as your skills grow, expad your pallet with the Gamblin Artists' Grade oil colors, also available at ARCH.

Summer's almost over. Isn't it time to Get Your Sh*t Together?

Written by visual artist, curator and educator Karen Atkinson, Getting Your Sh*t Together is a comprehensive guide on the business of being an artist. The book covers most any situation and gives practical advice on everything from hanging artwork to hiring employees.

We would recommend this manual for artists of all backgrounds, who are looking for help organizing both the creative side and the business side of their life.

Falconboard - a Foam Board Alternative

How about a "green" alternative to Foam Boards? ARCH is now stocking Falconboard. It's honeycomb structure can handle the most demanding of graphic display requirements due to its high rigidity and dimensional stability.

Just a bit over 1/4" thick (17/64"), we have sheets available in 30" x 40" and 4' x 8'. Falconboard emits zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contains up to 20% chlorofluorocarbon-free recycled paper and is both bio-degradable and recyclable.

While the manufacture sees this primarily as a mounting board, we would love to see how this looks in a scale model.

We have a limited amount of samples if you want to try it out. Stop in to ARCH today!

Calling all Artists, Makers, & Doers!

Every day could use more art and kindness. Won't you join us? Send us your art, tell your friends and foes, and we'll see you in November with tires full of air and bags full of artwork, ripe for the giving.
