Happy Lunar New Year! To kick off our February sale, we are featuring artist Sam Larson (@samlarson) and Krink’s K-42 Opaque Permanent Paint Markers and K-70 Permanent Ink Markers, which are on sale for 20% off!  Check out some of Larson’s recent drawings below.

K-42 Opaque Permanent Paint Marker

The K-42 is a classic paint marker. It comes in 17 colors, here Larson uses Light Blue, Orange, and Yellow. The alcohol-based paint is permanent, opaque, and non-toxic. The marker features a broad-tip with valve-action so that the artist can lay down an abundance of color while strictly regulating the paint’s flow. Handmade in the USA.

K-70 Permanent Ink Marker

This marker is a great all-around marker for everyday use. It has a large capacity and valve-action tip, so it can easily be re-inked and last a long time. Additionally, the nib is double sided, with a 3mm bullet tip on one side and a 5mm chisel tip on the other! High quality alcohol-based ink is permanent, opaque, and excellent for use on paper, cardboard, metal, and painted surfaces. Available in Super Black, Cyan, and Magenta. Handmade in the USA.

One of the great things about Raw Materials’ location in Downtown Los Angeles is its close proximity to world-class museums and galleries, and having access to their arts programming. One such neighbor is Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, in the heart of the Arts District. This month Hauser & Wirth’s Family Studio Workshop takes inspiration from Mary Heilmann’s monumental mural ‘Pacific Ocean,’ directly across the gallery’s onsite restaurant, Manuela. Participants will combine watercolor paint and tape to make their own miniature murals that represent a feeling associated with Los Angeles. Finished projects will echo themes represented in Heilmann’s site-specific work, like the movement of water and California surf culture. The workshop will be led by Matt MacFarland and is scheduled for Sunday, January 27, 2019 at 12 pm.

This drop-in activity at Hauser & Wirth is free, however, reservations are recommended. Click here to register.
