Frequently Asked Questions – Professional Artist Acrylic Paints
Professional artist acrylic paints contain a higher concentration of pure pigments, fewer fillers, and superior-quality binders. This results in stronger colour intensity, better coverage, improved lightfastness, and long-lasting, archival-quality artworks.
Artist acrylic paint refers to professional-quality acrylic paint formulated for artists, offering higher pigment load, better handling, improved colour strength, and superior lightfastness.
Heavy body acrylic paint has a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstrokes, peaks, and texture. It is ideal for impasto techniques, palette knife work, expressive mark-making, and textured painting styles.
Yes. Artist acrylic paints are specifically designed for professional fine art, gallery exhibitions, commissions, and long-term display.
Yes. Professional artist acrylic paints are formulated using high-quality, lightfast pigments designed to resist fading and colour shift over time under normal display conditions.
Lightfastness measures how well a pigment resists fading when exposed to light over time. Artist-grade paints use lightfast pigments to ensure archival durability.
Pigment load refers to the amount of pigment in the paint. A higher pigment load delivers stronger colour, better coverage, cleaner mixing, and more efficient use of paint.
Single-pigment paints provide cleaner colour mixing, more predictable results, and greater control when creating custom colour blends.
Opaque paints fully cover underlying layers, semi-transparent paints allow some light through, and transparent paints are ideal for glazing and layered techniques.
Yes. Artist acrylic paints are excellent for glazing, especially when combined with acrylic glazing, matte, or fluid mediums to control transparency and flow.
