At Modulor, we have everything an artist’s heart desires. Because we know that as a creative person, you want to bring your inspiration to life as quickly as possible using the best materials. Modulor offers a wide selection of paints, for example, ranging from A for acrylics to T for textile paints, via gouache and pastels. Of course, we also sell the right surfaces in the form of art paper, such as watercolour pads, oil painting and acrylic paper, or pastel paper. In the art supplies section, you’ll find sturdier supports such as painting surfaces, as well as stretcher frames and canvases. To ensure safe working and transport, we offer sturdy easels and portfolios or cases for storage and presentation.
Brushes come in every type and for every purpose. That’s why we’ve created a separate section for our comprehensive range of art, hobby and paint brushes. Those who prefer to work with sponges, palette knives or rollers will find these under the ‘Other Painting Tools’ section. For creative work, you naturally also need the slightly less exciting but all the more important aids, which have their own category here. These include, for example, products for oil painting, gilding and acrylic painting, as well as cleaning products, technical sprays and clear varnishes.
When it comes to art supplies, pens and stationery are also essential. Our selection ranges from ballpoint pens and coloured pencils to calligraphy pens and correction fluids. You’ll find the full range here in our online shop. Enjoy browsing!
For the best results, we recommend highly pigmented acrylic paints, the finest artist’s watercolours or pure pigments to grind yourself. Modulor’s carefully curated range extends from high-quality student grades right up to top-class (Artist Quality) products. It is best to choose brands that are renowned for their lightfastness and brilliance. This way, your works will retain their radiance for decades to come.
The range here extends from standard pads to a huge selection of individual sheets in various weights and finishes. From handmade deckle-edge paper and acid-free watercolour boards to special papers for markers (layout paper) or printmaking (such as linocut or woodcut), Modulor offers the right surface for every technique.
The choice of brush depends heavily on the viscosity of your paint. For impasto oil or acrylic paints, we recommend sturdy bristle or synthetic brushes with high resilience. For liquid media such as watercolour or ink, we stock the finest natural hair brushes (e.g. red sable). High-quality synthetic alternatives hold a particularly large amount of water. Our product descriptions will help you make the right choice.
Art does not end with the finished painting. The market offers a wide range of presentation materials, from high-quality passe-partouts and acid-free archive boxes to gallery rails and professional portfolios for transport or applications to art colleges. At Modulor, you’ll find everything you need to professionally showcase your art from concept to exhibition.
The basic kit depends entirely on your preferred medium. For drawing, you’ll need pencils, erasers and a sketchbook. For watercolour or acrylic painting, we recommend the appropriate paints as well as high-quality brushes and painting surfaces. A starter set is often a good place to begin. You can find out which products are recommended for which techniques in Modulor’s detailed product descriptions.
