Fine Art Painting & Printing Supplies

We offer premium quality brands of painting and printing supplies for fine art, schools, home, leisure and professional.  The core of our fine art range includes Oil, acrylic, watercolour and gouache paints.  It also extends to drawing inks, lino printing inks, acrylic inks and graphics materials.  Painting surfaces include canvasses, canvas panels, fine art papers, painting mediums, fine art brushes and accessories.

We source our fine art paints from International and European fine art companies such as Caran D’Ache, Faber Castell, Staedtler, Rosa of Ukraine, Winsor & Newton, Blockx of Belgium, Liquitex and Royal Talens of Holland.  Of equally high quality are our hobby and leisure paint ranges, sourced from highly reputable art companies that include such brands as Pebeo, Folk Art, Lefranc & Bourgeois and Creall of Holland.

The fine art paint brushes we stock are sourced from Richard Oliver Brushes of Ireland.  They include finest bristle and synthetic brushes in rounds, flats, filberts and riggers.  We offer many other choices of sythetic and natural brushes from a variety of makers in sets and loose stock in our Ennis shop and here online.

When using fine art colours it’s important to use good quality mediums also.  Oil mediums include solvents, drying oils and blending mediums.  Acrylic mediums include gloss and matte fluid and gel mediums, texture pastes, retarding mediums, gessos and structure mediums.  Choose appropriate good quality varnishes to give your work that finishing touch

All our stretched canvasses and canvas panels are triple primed, acid free and made from high quality medium grain cotton canvas and selected wooden stretchers.

    The Elements Wooden Painting Panel brings to mind the painting methods of the Renaissance!

    Painting on Elements wood panels offers numerous advantages, including a smooth, stable surface, durability, and a unique aesthetic that can’t be replicated with canvas. Whether you’re using oils, acrylics, or mixed media, wood provides a solid foundation for your artwork.

    Priming is optional, but when using oil paint it is recommended. Wood is an excellent surface for oil painting because it supports thick layers of paint and can withstand heavy brushstrokes. The oil paint will take longer to dry on wood, which can be beneficial for blending and glazing techniques.

    Elements wood panels are ideal for a range of fine art and craft projects including pouring resin, and can be used on both sides.

    Fabric Block Printing Ink 100ml – Blue

    Essdee Fabric Printing Inks are specially formulated to make Lino printing on to fabric a fun and successful activity that anyone can enjoy. These highly viscous inks will leave you with a bold and vivid print that is soft to the touch, and long-lasting after being heat set. The inks are water-based, meaning they are easy to use and clean up with just soap and water.

    To create your own unique print, first carve your design using Lino printing tools and materials, then apply the ink to your carved printing block using an ink roller. Essdee MasterCut carving blocks and the Essdee Fabric Printing Roller are ideal. Place your inked block face down on to your fabric and apply pressure to transfer the ink. Following printing, the ink should be heat-set by ironing the reverse of your print (on a non-steam setting) for 4 minutes, moving the iron over the whole of your design. The printed fabrics are washable up to 40°C. For the best results 100% cotton fabric is recommended as more textured fabrics can produce varied results.
