Copic Sketch markers boast a twin-tip design: the medium broad nib offers smooth consistent coverage for larger areas, while the finer brush nib allows for easy detail work. What makes them unique is that they are refillable and have replaceable nibs. The vast range of colours can be mixed together, or layered on top of each other. As the markers are alcohol-based they are fast drying and will not smear. Ideal for graphic arts, fine arts, craft and calligraphy.

Acrylic paint is the most versatile medium in the studio: fast-drying, water-soluble, and compatible with almost any surface.

DeSerres carries acrylic paints in student and professional grades, brushes, canvases, gels, mediums and texture pastes, from the brands artists trust for consistent colour and quality.

What do I need to start painting with acrylics?

A starter acrylic kit needs paint, brushes, a surface and a palette. For paint, a set of 12 colours in student grade covers the basics; add titanium white and ivory black as essentials. For brushes, a mix of flat and round synthetic brushes works best with acrylics. For surfaces, stretched canvas or canvas panels are the most common choices. A stay-wet palette keeps your paint workable longer. Add a retarder medium if you want more blending time. Explore our Paint collection, Paintbrushes, Canvases and Painting Accessories.
