Grand Godet restock!

These large formal 7ml pans sold out immediately earlier this year when we first brought Renesans Watercolours to our shelves, which meant that quite a few of our customers missed picking them up the first time around.

For those you still waiting, you're in luck! The Grand Godet pans have been fully restocked, get them now before they sell out again.

Psst...they're part of our Back to School Sale, get them for 20% off through September 28th!

R&F Handmade Paints make some of our favourite products.

They're most well known for their Pigment Sticks, which are buttery smooth, solid oil paint sticks that allow you to draw right on your canvas without needing a brush.

Their Encaustics are solid paint and wax blocks. Melt them down, or mix with beeswax and create stunning layered pieces of art with a technique that goes back thousands of years.

The newest addition to R&F are their drawing oils, which are more similar to an oil pastel, but one that actually fully cures and dries.

Created with high quality artists' pigments, R&F will be an amazing addition to any artist's studio.
