Pinata High Gloss Varnish + New Colors & Accessories

Piñata High Gloss Varnish is a game-changing protective topcoat—the first non-toxic, one-part varnish that’s compatible with alcohol ink artwork and that won’t reactivate or smear the color. Crystal clear and non-yellowing, it provides a uniform glossy finish for any surface, including YUPO, ceramic, glass, metal, plastic, and more. Self-leveling, it is easy to use and clean up.

Available now along with a rack extension that accommodates all the other new items in the 4oz Pinata assortment:

  • Piñata Opal: a color-shifting iridescent color that displays virtually every color of the rainbow depending on the angle. Pearlescent and highly reflective.
  • Piñata Aqua: a frequently requested new color that gives off beach vibes so strong you’ll want to dive in!
  • Transfer Pipettes & Twist Caps that make dispensing from the 4oz Piñata bottles much easier!
  • 5 Pinata colors not previously accommodated on the 4oz rack: Golden Yellow, Pink, Coral, Blue-Violet, and Teal.

Colineo Synthetic Kolinsky Red Sable by da Vinci Brushes
At last! A synthetic equivalent to the finest Siberian kolinsky.

With da Vinci COLINEO we have succeeded in creating a mixture of synthetic fibers, very similar to its natural ideal. A carefully balanced mixture of different lengths of straight and wavy synthetic fibers with extra fine tips and tapered points, high elasticity and color absorption. This project has long been in the works at our factory in Germany, it begins shipping in July 2022.

  • The latest breakthrough by da Vinci in synthetic brush making.
  • Click here for Colineo catalog: https://768a072f.flowpaper.com/COLINEOADJ
  • Excellent for Watercolor, Gouache, Sketching, Acrylics or Oils.
  • In 1983, da Vinci created the multi-diameter synthetic brush with Cosmotop Spin & Top Acryl.
  • Casaneo then became the first wavy fiber synthetic brush - a huge success globally.
  • After a decade of testing, COLINEO now combines all the latest innovations in brush fibers and old fashioned know how, to finally replicate kolinsky sable.
