​New & Restocked!

New Push/Pull gouache and watercolor colors!
​
We're working on permanent color lines for both our house-made gouache and watercolor paints, so you don't have to worry about not being able to get the same color again!

New permanent colors now include Cerulean Blue, Magenta, and Cadmium Yellow Medium! These are now available as 20mL tubes of gouache or as sticky caps of watercolor!

Cool new patches!

It's always a good time to fill in another spot on your sweet vest or jacket!
