Choosing the Right Acrylic Paint
Student Acrylic Paint An economical choice for beginners, students, schools and high-volume painting. Student acrylics provide reliable colour and performance while keeping costs accessible.
Professional Acrylic Paint Professional acrylics generally offer higher pigment concentrations, stronger colour and a wider selection of artist pigments. Popular professional ranges include Matisse Structure, Atelier Interactive, Liquitex Heavy Body and Golden Heavy Body.
Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Thick acrylic paint that retains brush and palette-knife marks, making it ideal for textured painting, expressive brushwork and impasto techniques.
Fluid Acrylic Paint A more flowing consistency suited to glazing, fine detail and techniques requiring greater paint flow.
