Not trying to “hawk” any of this “stuff” in the Art NYC store (all Syntagma blogs have a “store” on them) but I decided to look at what’s in the store and if I like it … to display it here.

Apparently there is a special canvas that can be used for reproductions - fairly expensive as a canvas goes (44″ x 30″ artist canvass by Epson).  Isn’t Epson a printer company?  I guess it is, and they make this type of canvas also. 

Besides, it has a picture of one of my favorite Cezanne paintings on the cover (which is currently on loan to the Metropolitan - and I saw it again just the other day)… so it must be good.

 

 

Now, this is something I can’t resist recommending - Marshalls “Perfect Pair” Ink jet Canvas and Photo Oils Set, for Hand Coloring on Marshall’s Ink Jet Canvas Prints …and it really is called “Marshall’s“.   You can order it at the ArtNYC store ….. I’m not hawking it but if you need something like this…here it is.

 

By the way, you can treat almost any surface and make it suitable for art with Marshall Pre-Color Spray, Pretreats Surfaces to Accept Marshall Oils or Pencils, 11oz Can - and it’s from “Marshall” …. too bad it’s not got “Sponder” in the name, too.

 

Pre Color Spray is used to pretreat glossy black & white prints, sepia or brown-tone prints, color prints, resin-coated photographic papers, canvas or canvas board to allow them to accepts Marshall Photo Oils or Marshall Color Pencils.

That’s enough for one post.
