NEW Ironlak Art Supplies review with Kade Valja

Open Studio regular Kade Valja has recently had a crack at the new Ironlak Artist's supplies that we are now stocking and has given us some great feedback!
Check out his product review below along with some progress shots from his studio space.
For more of his work you can follow him @kadevaljart on Instagram...

Products used:

Ironlak basic acrylic color set 

Ironlak acrylic fluid.

Ironlak pump action markers.

Ironlak brushes.

The Artist Acrylic range is very bright, buttery

and has great coverage straight out of the tube

and goes beautifully with a palette knife. It works harmoniously with the Ironlak Fluid range (*available in Pump Action markers or separate bottles) 

making experimenting with mixing techniques easly achievable.

The Fluid through the airbrush works as well as any quality airbrush paint,

the darker colors work especially well for detail.

The brushes are a good weight and length, smooth and consitent, really great value.

cheers

2017 is off to a good start!

GUMBAYNGGIRR ARTISTS @ HEADSPACE...

OPEN STUDIO was contacted to coordinate and facilitate a mural for the new Headspace Coffs Harbour premises. The mural was to represent local Gumbaynggirr culture, so we contacted local Gumbaynggirr artists Yowa and Brentyn Lugnan to do their thing and do it BIG!

WONDERWALLS @ the Gong...

Looking forward to what is set to be a great weekend in the Gong catching up with mates and checking out some killer artists at work and in their element... See you there!

Another great night...

John Theiring's show had a massive turnout and was well received as can be accounted for by the number of works sold on opening night. His live sand painting amazed the crowd and added a whole new level of depth to his canvasses on the walls. Get in and check out the work if you missed it...
