An artist and a chemist
Every Marcus Art product starts with one question: what is it made from, and how will it behave in an artist’s hands?
For more than sixty years we’ve been formulating and hand making art materials in Melbourne. Pigments, resins, oils, waxes and minerals, combined so the artist has full control over the creative process.
Safety is built into every formula, for the person using it and for the environment.
