HOLBEIN OIL PAINT SALE!
Take 40% our entire selection of Holbein artist grade oils while supplies last! Holbein ranks as one of the world's finest lines of
professional oil colors. The formulation of each color is modified
individually to compensate for the inherent  differences in the working
characteristics of pigments. The result is an even consistency across
the entire palette of color. Holbein maintains its
quality standards by test inspection of pigment purity, color tone,
applicability and adhesion, physical stability, light stability,
thermo-stability, and anti-bacterial stability. Pigments are ground from
three to five times as necessary to achieve a universally consistent
viscosity. The manufacturing process in each of the preparation, mixing,
grinding, adjustment, and filling stages is monitored by reference to
optimum quality standards. For more information on these fine, high quality oil paints, visit Holbein's product website. |

LOCAL ARTIST OF THE MONTH: ALEX MARIUS SACUI
This month, True Blue is excited to highlight the work of local, multi-talented artist, Alex Sacui.
Like most artists, Sacui wears many hats. In addition to being a painter and a muralist, Sacui works as a graphic and web designer, illustrator, animator and art director. It is obvious from the cohesive style of his work that he draws inspiration and visual style from each and every one of his numerous disciplines. Looking at his portfolio, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish his digital works from his paintings-- digital illustrations are executed with painstaking painterly details while his murals and paintings have a distinct graphic feel.
To learn more about Sacui's amazing work, visit his website www.nosepilot.com.
