The most solidly built single-action model around.  Available either as a three nozzle set with an assortment of accessories or as a one nozzle airbrush with no accessories.</B></div> <div> <B>Badger 350 ... Single-action, external mix airbrush.  Stocked only in a single, general purpose nozzle assembly.</B></div> <div> <B>Badger 150 ... Double action, internal mix.</B></div> <div> <B>Aztek 220 ... Better described as a miniature sprayer rather than an airbrush.  Good for painting fairly broad areas where no detail is required. </B></div> <div> <B>Aztek 270 ... Single action, external mix at an economical price point.  Comes with three different tips, allowing a wide range of line widths.</B></div> <div> <B>Aztek 340 ... Still single action, but internal mix for finer spray.  Availability of nine different nozzle assemblies makes it almost as versatile as the double-action Azteks. (You almost certainly won't need all nine; usually two or three suffice.)</B></div> <div> <B>Aztek 430 ...

Also available in starter set containing only one nozzle. </B></div> <div> <B>Our airbrush department also carries almost any part you may need for the models above, plus a choice of compressors, airbrush paints, frisk film, cleaners, stencil burners, and other airbrush aids, plus many books on airbrushing.</B></div> <div> <B>We hold occasional airbrush workshops, </B><B>but do not offer regular airbrush classes.</B><B> (In our opinion it's a waste of time to attempt to learn the basics in class; the only route is practice,  practice, and still more practice.  Only when you can make the tool do what you want it to </B><B>without stopping to think about it </B><B>is it time to sit down for a session with an accomplished airbrusher.)</B></div> <div> <B>ART BOXES</B><B> <A NAME="art_boxes"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Choose from finished or unfinished wooden art cases in your choice of sizes, or a wide array of plastic art boxes resembling fishing tackle boxes, but usually of heavier construction.  Smaller cases are also available for carrying items such as pencils, erasers, brushes, etc.</B></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Arial" ><B>ART CLIPBOARDS</B></FONT><B> <A NAME="art_clipboards"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>Not you ordinary office size, but clipboards on steroids.  They're great for toting large art pads.  Sizes 13x13, 18x18 and 23x26.  Carrying hole included at no extra cost.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>BUTCHER TRAYS</B><B> <A NAME="butcher_trays"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>T</B></FONT><B>hey really </B><B>are</B><B> what the name implies, even though they are rarely found in butcher shops anymore.  Many watercolor painters swear by them as an indispensible accessory.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>CANVAS CARRIERS</B><B> <A NAME="canvas_carriers"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Not a major item, but we usually have one or two types of carriers for transporting wet canvasses between home and class.  (Many table easels also double as canvas carriers.)</B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Arial" ><B>CANVAS PLIERS</B></FONT><B> <A NAME="canvas_pliers"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>You don't </B><B>have</B><B> to have this special tool, but the job's a lot easier if you do. </B></div> <div> <B>COLOR-CORRECTED LIGHTS</B><B> <A NAME="color_corrected_lights"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>Ordinary home lighting distorts color.  Color-corrected  bulbs don't.

to say that you'll find a good selection of the better quality brands in a wide range of degrees and in both open stock and sets.  (If pencil degrees throw you, there's an explanation  </B><FONT

to find elsewhere in Ocala, include jumbo graphite sticks, square sketch sticks, woodless pencils, a wide selection of willow and stick charcoal, dry cleaning pads, sandpaper pointers, erasers, blending stumps, tortillions, etc.  </B></div> <div> <B>Artist-grade colored pencils are available in Prismacolor  and Polychromos brands in either open stock or sets.  The latter are free of the wax bloom that sometimes bedevils colored pencil painters.   Several lesser brands (in sets only) are available in grades for everything from young kids to older beginners.  (Lest you think colored pencils are just for kids, some colored pencil works sell at prices well into the four figure range, and some have broken the five-figure barrier.)</B></div> <div> <B>Add a variety of choices in chalk

floor models,  many which easily convert to either use, and a few which can tilt to horizontal for watercolor, gessoing, or varnishing, there's an easel to fit your needs </B><B>and</B><B> your

SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>Since we cut thousands of mats every year, we hate to admit how easy it can be with the right equipment.  We won't include hand cutters in that category, but if your mat cutting needs are relatively minimal, you can get by nicely with one of the several hand models we carry.  For more ambitious projects we can also supply models with a guide rail, adjustable border stop, and additional bells and whistles.</B></div> <div> <B>OPAQUE PROJECTORS</B><B> <A NAME="opaque_projectors"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>We'll start by warning you bluntly that it's our impression that perhaps half the people who buy these devices aren't happy with them.  That is rarely the fault of the projector, but more often because of unrealistically high expectations.  </B><B>We'll also warn you that projectors are one of a handful of items that can be returned only for exchange for other merchandise, not for cash.</B><B>  </B><B>With that said, we'll tell you that we carry projectors in a variety of price ranges.  The major differences between models are (1) size of viewing area and (2) what wattage bulb (or bulbs) can be accomodated.  The latter is especially important, particularly if high magnification is desired.  (Even the weakest model can handle 2X magnification well, but as demand increases, so does the wattage required for clarity of image.)  If you </B><B>do</B><B> decide to buy a projector here, talk to one of our most experienced people and let us know your expectations.  Unless it's such a slow day that we may be tempted to interest you in some Everglades property, we'd rather talk you </B><B>out</B><B> of the sale than have you unhappy.</B></div> <div> <B>PAINTING KNIVES</B><B> <A NAME="painting_knives"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1"

</B><B>knives</B><B> </B><B>are for applying paint to the art's surface, while </B><B>palette</B><B> knives are for mixing colors.  The distinction is trivial, but you may as well get it right.</B></div> <div> <B>PALETTE BOXES</B><B> <A NAME="palette_boxes"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>More a necessity than a convenience, these airtight boxes are designed to hold a 12x16 palette (or 12x16 palette paper).  Properly used, they vastly extend the life of any unused paint on your palette.  The models for acrylics include a box-sized sponge which retains moisture, plus specially treated palette paper.  Either will pay for itself many times over by reducing the amount of paint you throw away.</B></div> <div> <B>PALETTES - OIL OR ACRYLIC</B><B> <A NAME="palettes___oil_or_acrylic"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>The picture of an artist standing before a painting and holding a large, somewhat oval palette is deeply ingrained in the public mind, but is increasingly rare today.  Now most easel painters shun palettes in favor of pads of treated paper which allow the top sheet to be discarded at the end of a painting session.  If tradition is your passion we can still provide the genuine article in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials, but for most, the disposable palette pad makes up in convenience whatever it lacks in show.</B></div> <div> <B>PALETTES - WATERCOLOR</B><B> <A NAME="palettes___watercolor"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>Perhaps an expert watercolorist could create a masterpiece using the dinky, topless palettes (that are really intended for kids), but we don't know of any who would try.  Anyone aspiring to watercolor prowess just about has to have a covered palette with many mixing wells around a much larger center area for washes.  (The lid, when inverted, becomes a second area for this purpose.)  And sometimes it seems that every watercolor painter in the world has designed some variation of that basic style and attached his name to it.  Any of the full-sized ones will work, so you can make your choice from the several that we carry.  </B></div> <div> <B>PATTERN SCISSORS</B><B> <A NAME="pattern_scissors"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <B>Create deckle edges on any paper with these
