Artists’ Paints

“The only time I feel alive is when I’m painting.” Vincent van Gogh

ROYMAC RAINS CAUSES A FLOOD OF INTEREST

Imagine a product designed by Australian artists for Australian artists. This concept is what the Roymac brand prides itself on. Roymac creates colour products that you will love to create with; and has done this since 1960.

Vincent van Gogh famously quoted: “The only time I feel alive is when I’m painting.”

Roymac knows that every artist feels the same way, so they wanted to make an artists’ paint that evoked feeling and creativity; one that defined the passion of Australia. They wanted to bring their paints back to their roots. From this thought, Roymac Rains was born. Roymac Rains Watercolour Paint provides the Australian painting experience.

Made with the finest quality single pigments that allow richness of colour, going from dark to light with vivid transparency and featuring excellent lightfastness, Roymac Rains has something special. High quality binders keep pigments moist and hold the colour well when diluted, also allowing for easy lifting of colour to reveal the undertone. The paint’s granulation provides excellence in atmospheric effects and the paint will blend easily without disturbing transparency. Roymac Rains Watercolour Paint has been crafted with rich colours which complement the rugged Australian landscape.

Roymac knows the power of the Australian soil, of the bush and of the Outback; and they believe the natural colours of our territory are among some of the best. Roymac Rains Watercolour Paints have been designed to inspire you, the artist, to create.

One of Australia’s most renowned watercolourists, Terry Jarvis, works exclusively with Roymac Rains Watercolours and Roymac Rains Watercolour Paper. Terry Jarvis also played an integral part in the development of the Roymac Rains range. His artwork is featured in exhibitions right around the world … and Roymac is proud to have Terry’s support of the Rains series.

“Since I was first introduced to, and then began to use the Roymac range of products, I have been most impressed!” he affirms.

Roymac Rains is also proud to play a part in artist Jan Long’s work. Jan has won 570 awards for her paintings and drawings over the past 10 years and is a committed user of Roymac Rains Watercolour Paint.

Jan highlights her favourite elements of the paint: “Colours are great, particularly the vibrancy … the paint retains colour really well, it doesn’t change and it is certainly value for money.”

Jan also finds the inter-mixing of the colours is a big bonus and she really had ‘no hesitation but to recommend them’! Jan exhibits in three States across Australia and shows in 85 art shows per year. She also teaches at her own art complex, Art Education Bairnsdale – passing on her knowledge to aspiring artists.
