PROMOTE EFFICIENT LEARNING WITH HELP FROM MICADOR GROUP

Micador Group offers a great range of quality art products to help students and art teachers to explore their craft with confidence.

Roymac Rains™ is a collection of watercolours and paper for artists. Both complement each other to create an excellent watercolour set for students and teachers.

Roymac Rains™ is the ideal choice to explore and develop the techniques of watercolours. A carefully selected range of premium watercolours is available in sets of 12 and 32. Incorporating colours to suit the rugged Australian landscape, the watercolours are made with the finest quality pigments that allow richness of colour going from dark to light; and vivid transparency. High quality binders keep the pigments moist and hold the colour well when diluted – also allowing for easy lifting of colour to reveal the undertone. Featuring excellent lightfastness and terrific granulation for atmospheric effects, the colours will blend easily without disturbing the transparency.

The watercolours are complemented by premium Roymac Rains™ Watercolour Paper. The paper is sourced from France; made with 100 per cent cotton fibres with a cold pressed surface finish. It is felt marked on both sides with a pH testing at between 6.5 and 7. There are no optical brighteners, ensuring that your artwork is true to the pigments in Roymac Rains™ watercolours. The paper is available in loose sheets or in a pad of 12 sheets. The Rains paper is also a great multi-purpose paper, responding well to charcoal, pastels, pencils and many other mediums.

For portraiture, the Roymac Life set features pencils and paper to bring your artwork alive.

Finding the right flesh tone can be difficult and that is why Roymac brings you Life. Roymac Life pencils feature a wide range of skin tones designed specifically for portraiture. Roymac’s Life pencils have a high pigment concentration and creamy texture encased in a thick 6mm colour strip for greater colour lay down. The colours have been carefully selected with the specific intention of being used for portraiture. The colour selection comprises graduated skin (flesh) tones (cool and warm), and white. Each pencil has a fully bonded 10mm natural wood casing giving the set a natural and organic feel.

Roymac Life paper is the ideal surface for using the Life pencils. At 135gsm the paper has an excellent surface grain for drawing and shading. The paper is acid free and is available in A4 pads of 25 sheets.

Looking for a sable brush without the price tag? Choose Roymac Revolution™ brushes. Each Revolution brush is made with unique taklon technology that has microscopic pock marks on the surface of the fibre. Acting like the scaling found on natural sable
