Set of 10 One4all Markers Basics No. 1

Regular price $69.99
Sale price $69.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
This 10-piece set of Molotow One4All refillable markers comes in a transparent resealable box and features 10 x 227HS markers (4 mm fine tip) in assorted colours. The colours included in this set are: zinc yellow (006), dare orange (085), traffic red (013), shock blue middle (161), true blue (204), currant (042), neon pink (200), mister green (096), signal white (160) and signal black (180). Molotow One4All markers feature a patented capillary system and a Flowmaster valve, which offers a consistent paint flow to the tip of the marker. Their high-quality, acrylic-based ink is permanent, UV-resistant, quick-drying and non-toxic. It can be diluted with water or acetone, and will dry to an opaque, semi-gloss finish on nearly any porous or non-porous surface. Non-absorbent surfaces are better than absorbent surfaces for colour permanence and brilliance, whereas surfaces that are too smooth or oily are inappropriate for adhesion. Ideally, surfaces should be checked for compatibility before use by applying the colour on an inconspicuous spot. The markers are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Molotow One4All markers are engineered and manufactured in Germany. They are free of heavy metal, lead and CFC (chlorofluorocarbon), and are built to be refilled, in an effort to avoid unnecessary plastic waste. Each marker can be refilled at least 50 times using Molotow One4All Paint Refills, which can be mixed to create the colour of your choice. The numbers on the side of each marker (e.g. 127, 327, 427, 627) denote the size of the barrel, and thus the amount of paint the marker will hold. 227HS markers feature a 16 mm barrel and 4 mm tip. The Molotow One4All range is adaptable and environmentally friendly, as all markers are reusable and both the markers and the spray paints use the smallest amount of solvents possible, relying on an acrylic paint which is 85% water. The packaging is environmentally friendly and the manufacturer has a social responsibility program.

Ultra Gloss Varnish - 237ml

Regular price $26.99
Sale price $26.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
Liquitex high gloss varnish enhances the intensity, transparency and luminosity of colours. It protects and improves the fluidity of paint and its adherence to supports. Of medium viscosity, it becomes transparent upon drying, stays smooth and does not yellow. Important information : For interior and exterior use. The permanent varnishes are irreversible and must always be tested before being applied. The painted surface must be completely dry (between 72 hours and 2 weeks, depending on thickness) before applying the varnish. Shake the varnish before use. For a better result, shake the varnish the day before and let it sit in order to avoid the formation of air bubbles when applying. The varnish can also be mixed gently with a stick before use in order to prevent the formation of bubbles. Apply 1 to 3 light coats, instead of one single thick coat. A thick coat will take longer to dry, may run or sink in during application and may result in visible paint marks when dry. Lay the work to be varnished flat on a table. Do not dilute the varnish as it will then be more likely to produce air bubbles. Use : Can be mixed with acrylic colours to thin out the colour or to create glossy glazes. Supports : suitable for all supports. Drying time : 3 to 5 days with acrylic. Let dry for 3 hrs between each coat.

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.
