Pro Lite Artist Stretcher Bars Box of 25 48"Save Up to77%Off list…Minimum purchase of 12 bars of assorted sizes Perfect For: * Stretching canvas at home * Easy to use * Professional Artists * Artists of all skill levels * Custom Canvas up to 50 × 50" Please note: A minimum purchase of 12 assorted bars is required. Special Bulk Pricing for Boxes of 25 or 50! Genuine Pine Wood Stretcher Bars, 3/4" Deep, 1.75" Wide Pro-Lite Bars measure 1-3/4" in width and are a genuine 3/4" deep, while most brand leaders are only 1-5/8" wide and 5/8" deep. This 1/8" difference creates a sturdier frame. Although some stretcher bars do not use consistent types of wood, (some are Pine, some are Poplar, and some could be Bass), Pro-Lite bars are always made of Pine, so you know you are getting consistent quality. The stretcher bars feature the traditional tongue and groove corner ends that you can quickly assemble by interlocking two strips to form a canvas corner. They also feature a uniform beaded edge, so the canvas is slightly offset, to ensure that there will be no "ghost" impressions on the canvas. For re-stretching a painting, the bead is on both sides; therefore, you can turn the frame around and staple into raw wood on the back if you ever need to re-stretch. Pro-Lite Artist Stretcher Bars are the perfect solution for custom sized canvases!

Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencil, No. 225 - Dark RedSave Up to41%Off listRed Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils The most lightfast brand of colored pencils, that will resist fading for over 100 years! Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils are widely considered to be the finest professional colored pencils on the market. The vegetable oil-based pencils exhibit a richness of color and smoothness that is unparalleled by any other brand, without the ugly wax bloom that develops with layering, like other popular brands on the market. The barrel houses a 3.8mm diameter, SV bonded lead that is both water-resistant and smudge proof, with the bonding providing breakage-resistance with accidental dropping or rough sharpening. Key Features:* Thick 3.8 mm lead diameter* Oil-based lead* Soft, vibrant color laydown* High-quality acid-free pigments with unsurpassed lightfastness * Water-resistant and smudge-proof* High break resistance due to Secural bonding process (SV)* 120 color range Perfect For:* Illustrators, Designers, Fine Artists* Archival and lightfast artworks* Easy blending and layering* Use on multiple surfaces* Replacing brands that break easily* Professionals, art students With a color range of 120 open stock colors, 100 of those have a 3 star lightfastness rating (7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale). Why is this important? Until the Colored Pencil Society of America approached the ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) about developing lightfastness testing for colored pencils, there was not a set lightfastness rating in place for the product. A standard was passed in 2003 and testing began (D6901), and found most brands terribly lacking— most of which did not produce lightfastness beyond 25 years. With 100 colors at the top of the lightfastness ratings, Faber Castell has been dedicated from the start to provide a truly fine art, professional quality colored pencil! The expanded color range matches both Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils and Polychromos pastels for multi-media techniques. Pencils work beautifully on textured and smooth papers, sanded pastel papers and boards, wood, and even fabric. Please note: The pencil barrel’s labeling may vary in appearance within sets and individual stock due to a rolling manufacturer design change. The quality and formula of the Polychromos pencils remain unchanged. See More
