Art Spectrum
Art Spectrum has been a cornerstone of the Australian art world for decades, known for delivering professional-grade art supplies that meet the specific needs of both professional and amateur artists. As a homegrown brand, Art Spectrum is trusted for its dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and its deep understanding of Australian conditions. From vibrant pigments to durable mediums, artists across Australia rely on Art Spectrum for materials that help bring their creative visions to life.
At Eckersley’s, we proudly offer an extensive range of Art Spectrum products, helping artists at every level find the tools they need to create their best work.
High-Quality Pigments and Lightfastness
One of the defining features of Art Spectrum art supplies is the use of the highest-quality pigments. Each product in the Art Spectrum range is formulated with rich, pure pigments that result in colours that are vibrant, accurate, and consistent. Whether you’re working with oils, watercolours, or acrylics, you can be confident that Art Spectrum’s colours will remain true to your vision.
What truly sets Art Spectrum paints apart is their commitment to lightfastness. Lightfastness refers to a paint's ability to resist fading when exposed to light, ensuring that your artwork maintains its original brilliance over time. This is essential for artists creating work meant to last, whether for a gallery, client, or personal collection. Art Spectrum's rigorous testing and use of premium materials guarantee that your paintings will stay vibrant for years to come.
Australian-Made Products Designed for Local Artists
Art Spectrum’s dedication to local artists goes beyond just high-quality pigments. Since its inception in Melbourne in the early 1960s, the brand has remained committed to producing Australian-made art supplies designed with local artists in mind. Australia’s unique environment, particularly its harsh sunlight, can be challenging for artists working outdoors. Art Spectrum products are specially formulated to withstand these conditions, making them ideal for Australian landscapes and climates.
By choosing Art Spectrum, you’re not only supporting a homegrown company, but you’re also working with materials tailored specifically for the unique conditions of Australian art practice. Whether you’re painting the rugged bush, capturing the vibrancy of the coastline, or exploring abstract works in the studio, Art Spectrum provides the reliability and performance you need.
Wide Range of Mediums and Paints for Every Technique
Art Spectrum is known for its vast array of paints, mediums, and accessories that cater to all kinds of artistic techniques and styles. This makes it a go-to brand for artists of all levels, whether you're experimenting with new styles or sticking to traditional methods.
Art Spectrum mediums are designed to enhance the versatility of your paints, offering endless possibilities for texture, flow, and finish. Whether you want to slow down drying times, create a matte or glossy finish, or adjust the viscosity of your paint, their range of mediums ensures you can fine-tune your work to perfection. Art Spectrum also offers gessoes and primers to prepare your canvases and papers, allowing for even better results with your chosen medium.

When it comes to oil paints, Art Spectrum stands out for its exceptional range and quality. These oil paints are crafted using pure pigments and premium-grade linseed oil, resulting in a product that offers exceptional richness, smoothness, and longevity.
What sets Art Spectrum oil paints apart is their ability to retain their vibrancy over time. The pigments used are finely ground and thoroughly mixed, providing artists with smooth, even colour application and exceptional blending capabilities. This is essential for achieving everything from subtle tonal shifts to bold, expressive strokes.
In addition, Art Spectrum oil paints are known for their high levels of lightfastness, ensuring your paintings will stand the test of time. Available in a wide variety of colours, including traditional earth tones and vibrant modern hues, these paints are a favourite among Australian artists looking for superior quality.
Art Spectrum Watercolours for Professional-Level Transparency
For artists working in watercolour, Art Spectrum watercolours provide the transparency and fluidity required to create both delicate washes and bold, intense colours. The carefully selected pigments and high-quality Gum Arabic used in Art Spectrum watercolours result in paints that are both luminous and easy to rework, making them a top choice for professionals and amateurs alike.
One of the key features of Art Spectrum watercolours is their ability to rewet easily, allowing artists to adjust their work long after the paint has dried. This flexibility is crucial for watercolourists who want the freedom to layer or blend colours without sacrificing control. Eckersley’s offers a full range of Art Spectrum watercolours, including individual pans and tubes, giving you the tools to experiment with transparency, layering, and texture.
