Arteza® Paints

The creative opportunities are endless with acrylic paint. It works on all kinds of surfaces like canvas, wood, glass, paper, ceramics, and stone. From fun craft projects to bold, expressive art, acrylics offer great coverage, vibrant color, and a smooth painting experience. Artists of all skill levels appreciate how easy it is to blend, layer, and experiment with this versatile medium.

 

Most people use brushes or palette knives when working with acrylics. Brushes are great for details and coverage, while palette knives are perfect for mixing and adding texture. You can mix colors on a traditional palette or a disposable pad, whichever fits your setup best. Having the right tools on hand makes the process a lot more enjoyable.

 

Yes, once it dries, acrylic paint is usually permanent on most surfaces. It is water-based while wet but becomes water-resistant once dry. If you want something washable, another medium like tempera might be a better match. Acrylics are great when you want lasting, vibrant color that stays bold over time.

 

Acrylic pouring is all about flow and spontaneity. Instead of brushing it on, you pour the paint directly onto your surface and watch the colors move and mix in interesting ways. The paint is already thinned to the right consistency, so there is no need to add anything. Just pour and create. It is a great technique for anyone who wants to explore color and motion in a relaxed, freeform way.

 

Gouache is also water-based but has a matte finish and can be reactivated with water after drying. It’s great for artists who want rich, opaque colors with a softer look. Compared to acrylics, gouache offers more blending time and a different texture.

 

Oil paint takes much longer to dry, which gives artists more time to blend and work on details. It offers a glossy finish and deep, rich colors. Acrylics dry faster and are easier to clean up, making them a good option for quick projects or layering techniques.

 

Keep discovering new ways to paint and express yourself. Acrylics give you the freedom to try, play, and grow every time you pick up a brush.
