Carriveau Arts Unlimited: Archival Materials and COUPON

Most artists that have been working in the field of art for some time understand the importance of using archival materials opposed to non-archival materials. Most archival supplies are made of pure ingredience, low acidity. Usually archival western papers are made of 100% rage, cotton, or linen. They must have a neutral or low ph, more base then acidic.
The quality of using archival materials makes up for the cost. Colors that won't fade or yellow in products such as oil, watercolor and acrylic paints, paper, varnishes and glues. The key word to notice is "archival". If it is not listed on the label, then it probably isn't. These materials are a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
At Carriveau ArtsUnlimited we carry many lines, in many mediums of art supplies. We want the art you produce to be preserved for generations to come. You could be the next Van Gogh, make sure you can share your creations with future artists.
