Camel or Camlin has been a companion to all of us from our school days. Who can forget the yellow-red Camlin geometry box or fountain pen ink or the bottle of glue.
For us at Arthood and several art stores across India - Camel/Camlin is an integral part of our catalogue.
Camlin's art product range is a gold standard in quality and its eternal value for money return.
The brand has it's lore...when an artist was commissioned to paint a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, the artist apparently asked for Winsor & Newton, the famous oil brand from England.
The irony of painting a champion of swadeshi with imported colors was not lost on Subash Dandekar.
He resolved to make an indian range equivalent to the imported ones. And he did deliver on that.
Today the art division, despite its limitations on range, is a reliable favourite amongst artists and retailers alike.
Rest in Peace Mr Subash Dandekar.
May he spread more color on the other side.
