Highest Quality Single Pigments
 Artists' Acrylic colours are individually formulated from the purest and highest grades of pigments using the maximum amount of pigment possible.

The range has 80 colours spread across the widest palette, using single artists' pigments wherever possible. Other acrylic ranges exist with a larger number of colours but these include many mixtures of pigments which could be mixed by the artist.

Artists' Acrylic has 69 single pigment colours, which at 86% of the range, is unbeaten by other acrylic brands. The use of single pigments is key to the principle of making good colour. The benefits ensure the cleanest, brightest and strongest colours which give a wider choice and better colour mixing capabilities.

Acrylic Varnishes
Varnishes are final coatings which protect finished pictures from the build-up of dirt and grease.

Thinly painted acrylic films may be vanished after 24 hours of drying time, but up to a week of drying time should be allowed for heavy or impasto layers before varnishing. In addition, varnishes may be intermixed for a variety of finishes.

For advice on when to use each varnish, see our usage chart.
