Mixed Media Paper

Now in stock, we have Mixed Media pads that are designed for, you guessed it, mixed media! There are two kinds of pads, the 300 Series for mixed media sketches and the 400 Series for finished mixed media artwork.

These Mixed Media pads combine true wet media performance and dry media finish for a complete range of mixed media applications. These pads, made in the USA by Strathmore, have the characteristics of watercolor paper and the finish of a drawing sheet, creating a paper that performs unlike any other.

The Killington Series is handcrafted by the most experienced brush makers. These Japan dressed hog bristle brushes have a superior load and carry capacity and are soft, flexible and springy. They are an exceptional professional artist quality brush, perfect for acrylics or oils.

{220 Resable Series}

Handcrafted with nylon hairs, the 220 Resable Series has a blend of different thicknesses, helping to create textured brush strokes. These brushes have a large carrying capacity and have superior stiffness, spring and snap. Ideal for acrylics and DUO aqua oils colors.

{Pastel Series}

Last but not least, the Pastel Brushes! Traditional pastel painting has never had the benefit of a wide assortment of specialized tools to aid in the application of color to the painting surface. Holbein has now provided a selection of brushes with which the pastel artist can achieve optimum results from this delicate and colorful painting medium. These natural hair specialty brushes are ideal tools for blending colors and removing unwanted color.
