Working Artist Connections : Shylah Petkus

“My intent is to engage the viewer in both a two-dimensional and three-dimensional visceral experience with a teasing desire to touch. I incorporate figurative elements into my surfaces to reveal a layer of human psychology and ignite deeper facets of imagination and interpretation.”

Derwent Coloursoft Pencils Now Available

 coloursoft_blog_jpg.jpg

The softest of pencils but in an amazingly strong and vibrant range of colours. The velvety softness of the strip releases rich, dense colour at a stroke and is perfect for mixing and blending. Despite its soft texture, Coloursoft sharpens to a fine point and works equally well for detailed illustrations or bold, contemporary still-life drawings and portraiture.

We now have a 36 Colour Openstock assortment of Coloursoft Pencils available for $1.29 each.

Copic Sketch Markers

nibs_sketch_edit.jpg

We now carry a 72 color assortment of Copic Sketch Markers.

sketchs72a_large_edit.jpg

Copic Sketch, with the unique super brush nib, is the perfect marker for doing fine art illustrations, coloring Manga and other comics, and adding details to your images. The super brush nib acts like a paintbrush both in feel and coverage. This nib provides clean lines and easy blending. On the other end of the marker is the medium broad nib which gives even, wide coverage for larger areas.

These fast-drying, double-ended markers contain permanent and non-toxic inks. Copic Sketch markers feature a comfortable oval body profile and have durable polyester nibs that will hold their shape.

Working Artist Connections : Victor Pytko

I create the illusion of space and time by
manipulating and arranging paint, newsprint and
found objects on canvas and board.

The effort not only bestows new meaning and
context to the piece and its elements, but also
gives viewers reason to linger and discover the
surprises. -Victor Pytko
