The Sta-New Brush Holder
protects your brushes by drying them the best way possible–bristles down. It prevents moisture from rusting the metal ferrules and splitting the brush handles. A handy orga- nizer, the holder keeps brushes arranged neatly and separately. It easily mounts to an easel, wall, or an artist’s work surface.

Stencils offer endless possibilities
for creating backgrounds, design supports, bor- ders, and basic basecoats. What’s more, layering a background with color and texture, and then adding a design with just the right stencil, can take it from “just O.K.” to spectacular! A great border stencil can frame a design without the bulk of a metal or wood frame. Visit our website to find just the right stencils to enhance your designs!

The KG Kanvas Karrier with its unique insert was designed to safely transport a still-wet oil painting on artist-stretched canvas, but it works for any medium, wet or dry, on canvas or watercolor paper. Once the Kanvas Karrier is closed correctly with the handle out and the corner tabs locked in place, the insert secures the canvas. When you carry it by the handle, nothing touches the surface of the painting, even if it’s turned upside down. Accommodates 8" x 10" through 20" x 24". It’s perfect for storing a finished painting before framing. (Please call for discounts and shipping cost for orders of six or more.)
