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.
