Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Paint
Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics feature the thick, buttery consistency that offers the feel, pull, and look of a heavy-bodied paint.

This line of professional acrylics offers sheen, consistency, and paint handling characteristics that are similar to those of oil paints, such as retaining brush strokes and palette knife marks when dry.

Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic Paint
Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics were the first fine artist’s acrylics sold commercially in the United States. These concentrated acrylics contain rich, pure pigments that produce intense color without opacifiers or fillers. They have twice the covering power of ordinary craft acrylics!

Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics are naturally creamy and fluid. That makes them just right for tole and decorative arts, stenciling, murals, silk-screening, calligraphy, printmaking, graphic design, sculpture, photo retouching, hard edged painting, watercolor techniques, fabric painting without heat setting, airbrush illustration … you name it! They’re great for all surfaces, including wood, fabric, ceramics, canvas, or any porous surface.

Fredrix Pre-Stretched Canvas
These canvases feature the finest quality pure cotton duck, medium textured, and double-primed with acid-free acrylic gesso for use with oil or acrylic painting. All sizes larger than 24″ x 36″ include single or double bracing for added support. Canvases are carefully stapled on standard stretcher strips and have a ¾” profile.

Fredrix Gallerywrap Canvas
This pre-stretched, medium-textured, pure cotton duck canvas is made with professionalism and permanency in mind. The pre-primed surface resists acidic deterioration with a buffered, acid-free sizing to protect the canvas fibers from direct contact with the final priming.

The canvas is mounted on 1½” heavy-duty stretcher frames, double the standard thickness for heavy-duty performance, stapled on the back to allow painting on all sides. Continue painting around the sides for a 3-dimensional effect, or paint the sides a solid color and eliminate the need for a frame.

Every canvas that we print  is protected with a UV coated acrylic finish to guard the print from dust, moisture and fading. Do you want your canvas stretched on bars or non-stretched? Framed or unframed? Customize the work to make it truly your own.

 
Art of Photography

Art of PhotographyPhotography is an amazing art form. A photograph album is a catalogue of life's history as seen through the camera. People, animals, nature, holidays, celebrations and even disasters are captured instantly and recorded as part of history. It is through the powerful presentations of photography that we better understand the progression of time and life. Hampton Photo Arts has over twenty years of experience working with photographers as they seek to capture and preserve the history of families and communities.

When families get together, both children and adults love to look through photograph albums. They enjoy seeing the childhood photos of older family members and compare themselves to ancestors who lived a hundred or more years ago. Photos are among the most important treasures of every family. They should not be faded and dull. They contain the smiles, tears and emotions of generations. The staff members at Hampton Photo Arts display excellence in the art of photography reproduction. They work with the highest quality materials. They know how to create family memories that will be just as beautiful one hundred years from now as they are today.

 
Learning to Paint Watercolors

Watercolor is an easy, fun medium for creating art.  Color theory, composition and design can be explored freely with watercolor paint, paper, and brushes.  Several techniques may be used with watercolors for varying effects including painting wet on wet, wet on dry, layering washes, and more.

Watercolor paper comes in cold press, hot press, and rough.  Rough paper has the most texture, and its hills and valleys can result in interesting effects when paint is added.  Hot press is the smoothest and has the finest texture.  Cold press has a moderate amount of texture and is the paper most commonly chosen by watercolor artists.

Watercolor paper comes in several weights ranging from 90 lb. to 300 lb. based on the pounds per ream of paper.  Most artists prefer to use at least 140 lb. paper.  Papers vary somewhat between manufacturers, so sampling different papers is advisable.  Paper can be purchased in pads, in blocks or in large sheets.  The large sheets are usually the most economical and can be torn into whatever size is desired.
