The Art Treehouse Blog

It has been quite a project setting up this web site - researching the materials takes a great deal of time. But there is an element of adventure in discovering such things as the oil medium that Leonardo used for painting!  Many of the manufacturers produce a wide range of materials, whether or not they are toxic. The laws for labeling art materials can be quite confusing. Even if the product is a known toxin, it can still be sold for use in art. It just needs a label mentioning the toxicity.  As a friend said to me once, there is a lot of nonsense in the world of art materials.  For those who work with art every day, hopefully this web site will help sort things out.  I would enjoy feedback from any visitors who drop by. For example, is there something you wish we had that you can't find?  Is there information you are looking for? 

Please leave your comments......

And thanks for visiting!
