Artist’s Back to Basic – July 2019

(Martin Jones) #1
Roymac’s expert knowledge of artists
and what artists want has branched
into surfaces, complementing their
extensive and exquisite brush range.
For a masterpiece to be created,
a quality and reliable surface is
imperative. Just as a building needs
strong ground beneath it, a work of
art needs a surface that will provide
a solid base to its existence.
From experience comes sound
knowledge and Roymac has put this
knowledge to use with a professional
range of canvas rolls and watercolour
paper. Made from the highest quality
materials, Roymac’s range of surfaces
offers trustworthy solutions to all
your painting and drawing needs.
Roymac Blank Space Canvas Rolls
are high quality and of professional
standard, offering the perfect base
on which to build your creations.
Ideal for studio or classroom use, the
canvas is 100 per cent pure cotton
and is closely woven to ensure a taut
and firm surface when stretched.
The canvas can be cut down to any
desired size, so there is no limitation to
the scale or scope of your artwork. The
canvas comes in primed or unprimed
varieties to suit your artistic needs
and is available in 10 metre or 50
metre rolls and 8 ounce or 10 ounce
weights. In addition, rolls of canvas
can be found at art shops where
you can choose the size to suit your
needs. The canvas is 72 inches wide,
making it big enough to ensure you’re
never without a creative solution.
Roymac’s range has also developed
quality watercolour paper. If you’re
one for watercolour, Roymac Rains
Watercolour Paper is a premium
choice for artists. At 300gsm and
measuring 230 x 305 mm over 12
sheets in a pad and 460 x 615 mm
as individual sheets, this paper is a
high quality and handy addition to
any art room. The paper is also acid
free, which prevents it from yellowing

with age; and made in France with
the advantage of 100 per cent cotton
fibre. It is a cold pressed and felt-
marked surface that is suitable for
all watercolour techniques. Cold
pressed watercolour paper has a
slightly textured surface, which puts
its watercolour effect in between a
grainy and a smooth appearance.
The Roymac Rains Watercolour
Paper is an ideal complement to
Roymac Rains Watercolour Paint, but it
can also be used with other materials
such as pastels and charcoal – making
it the perfect solution to a variety of
artistic practices. A likely favourite
among watercolour artists, Roymac
Rains Watercolour Paper is internally
and surface sized for wet media.
When your imagination leads you
to a creation, it is undoubtedly vital
that the surface upon which your
masterpiece takes place is of a high
standard. Roymac has successfully
complemented its existing range
with surfaces that you can rely on;
and that you will love to create on.
Roymac is created by Australian
artists for Australian artists.
