SENNELIER ARTISTS' ACRYLICS Since 1887, the Sennelier name has been synonymous with quality, artist-driven innovation and an unfailing commitment to the advancement of art. Today, they have applied their expertise, experience and unerring eye for color to create Sennelier Acrylique Paints. Sennelier has selected pigments of the highest quality, from the most demanding chemical laboratories, in order to maximize purity and clarity of tone. With 120 shades, Sennelier offers one of the broadest palettes on the market, including four interference colors and six iridescent tones. Sennelier has also developed a complete offering of fluid and gel media, lacquers and other additives that give the artist the flexibility to modify the texture, viscosity, transparency, or luminosity of the paint. Any artist can glaze, burnish, thicken, mask, top, thin, mix or create his own recipes!

Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors now available at
The Art Rooms Professional Art Supplies!

Dan Smith started his business in 1976, dedicated to bringing the highest quality inks to the print-artist community. In 1993, Dan set out to create a line of professional watercolors with one goal in mind: to bring the watercolor artist the very best product available. His dream came to fruition with the introduction of a hugely innovative American-made collection of paints that just happened to change the world of watercolors forever.
The Daniel Smith Inc. paint-making lab is neither big nor impersonal. Located in Seattle Washington (made in the USA), it is a world of machinery and color, where the air smells of linseed oil, and everyone's clothes are splattered with paint. The manufacturing R&D lab is the soul of the company, a place where ideas are shared, artist's voices are heard, and new DANIEL SMITH colors are brought to life by a talented and dedicated production team. Artisans making paint for artists, they have your customer's complete satisfaction in mind.

Exclusive from Daniel Smith PRIMATEK, unique colors handmade with authentic mineral pigments are now available at The Art Rooms Professional Art Supplies!
