Original Buying Guide

My materials

  • Watercolour: I use the best artist quality pigment for my watercolours, and avoid any colours which are known to be suspect (tendency to fade). For more info have a look at my blog post on the paints that I use.
    My watercolours are painted on T H Saunders Waterford paper, 600 gsm, NOT surface (this denotes the smoothness/ roughness of the surface) or Khadi handmade paper, also 600 gsm.
  • Drawings / Sketches: Again I only use the best quality materials for all sorts of drawings, pencil, charcoal, crayon, etc. on T H Saunders Waterford paper 300 gsm, HOT surface. This is a smooth surface, more akin to cartridge paper.
  • Oil: Like my watercolours I only use artist quality pigments, and only the best and safest medium for mixing and glazing. My usual support would be stretched canvas, but I often use painting board for small pieces.
  • Mixed Media: This could mean anything, a mix of watercolour, pastels, ink, oil, pastels etc. Normally I would use the Khadi paper for my mixed media work.

These materials, on top of the conservation quality of our framing guarantees that a Rob Piercy painting, if kept away from ultra violet rays, will last a very long time.
