Ok, we’ve lost power so we’re closing up for the day now.
Please stay safe out there everyone, tune in to ABC radio, check the VIC Emergency ap and follow your fire plans!
My heart goes out to everyone affected by the fires and to all of our amazing emergency service workers and volunteers, today is going to rough. Look out for each other ###

Just a heads up the I’ll be closing the shop a little earlier today and tomorrow- the heat in the workshop is unbearable and I’m more than a little concerned about the catastrophic fire danger warnings for our region so we’ll be closing at 2pm today, open 10-2pm tomorrow and 10-2pm Saturday.

Stay safe and cool out there region pals, don’t forget to drink plenty of water, check in on those who might be struggling in the heat and put some water out for wildlife if you can.

POODLE PICS TO GRAB YOUR ATTENTION!

Christmas has arrived at The Alchemist!

And look, we get it, times are tough and the cost of living is out of control so this year we’re doing Christmas a little different…

We’ve bought in loads more stock with gorgeous stocking stuffers like washi tape sets and my new favourite pencils cases as well as affordable gifts for the creative youngsters in your life including air dry clay and colour pencil sets that start at $10.95!

We’ve curated a selection of gift packs to grab and go for drawing, watercolour, oil and acrylic that suit a range of budgets and artists of all ages. We can also customise a gift pack on request.

And of course, you’ll still find bougie gifts in our usual lines of the best profession grade artist materials from Australia and around the world.

We’ve started bringing in two Canvars profiles - a thick and a thin version - both using the same Italian linen that’s also on the roll.

The thin profile gives you a more economical option when you want the linen texture without bulk. The thick gives you more depth at the edges, useful if you work with impasto or want a stronger visual presence off the stretcher.

You’re welcome to see both versions in store — feel their weight, test your stretch.

Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) can be too much straight from the tube — sharp, staining, and almost synthetic. Adding white shows its base tone, but the real change happens when you bring in reds and earths.

Napthol Red knocks the chroma down fast, Burnt Sienna adds warmth, and Caput Mortuum gives a deep, natural green that sits comfortably in landscape work.

Featuring: Langridge Artist Colours Phthalo Green (Blue Shade), Napthol Red, Burnt Sienna, and Caput Mortuum.

Art Spectrum pads are made for studio work that doesn’t compromise on surface.

The Acrylic Pad is internally and externally sized, so paint sits cleanly on the surface instead of soaking in. Its cold-press texture gives a natural tooth that holds brush marks and layers well.

The Oil Pad has a unique barrier coating that keeps oils and mediums from penetrating the paper, giving the feel of a primed canvas in a portable format. Both are acid-free and archival, built for students and professionals alike.

Featuring: Art Spectrum Manufacturing Acrylic and Oil Pads.

Available in store & online.

Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) has a reputation. It’s powerful, staining, and relentless; the kind of colour that ends up on the backdrop, the counter, and the photographer’s assistant.

When mixed carefully though, it can do beautiful things. Add white to open it up, then tone it down with a touch of red, orange, or an earth. It’s how you take that intensity and turn it into something natural — perfect for the silvery greens of wattle foliage.

Featuring: Langridge Artist Colours Phthalo Green (Blue Shade).

Australian Green Gold is everywhere at the moment; on eucalypt leaves, in dry grass, and through the undergrowth after rain. It’s the yellow-green that sits between life and dust, unique to the Australian palette.

Both Art Spectrum Manufacturing and Derivan Matisse make their own versions, each carrying that same landscape tone in a different medium.

Cerulean Blue brings a lighter touch to green mixes.

Paired with Arylide Lemon, it creates fresh spring greens with high chroma and a clean edge. Shift toward warmer yellows like Arylide or Cadmium Deep, and the colour settles into deeper, earthier tones — closer to the greens found late in the season.

Featuring: Langridge Artist Colours Cerulean Blue, Arylide Lemon, Arylide Yellow and Cadmium Yellow Deep.
