Tonic Watercolor

Made with incredibly concentrated pigments. Hand-poured into large porcelain pans. Tonic is our deluxe new line of artist-grade watercolors, with a unique formula that emphasizes flow and intensity. Tonic moves freely on wet or dry paper; it lifts readily with a wet brush; it dilutes smoothly and without coaxing. Perfect for expressive, quick-moving painting sessions with large brushes.

Optimist Mixable Color

Our contemporary take on a classic art material: drawing ink. Ours is pigmented, quick-drying, waterproof, and highly durable. And — unlike the unpredictable drawing inks of old — Optimist makes high-chroma, consistent mixtures. Artists who are familiar with color mixing in other painting mediums will likely be comfortable working with the Optimist mixing system.
