Tri-Art Finest Liquid Acrylics - Tri-Art's Finest Liquid
Acrylics provide the artist with a self leveling, fluid paint ideal for
high detail, glazing, and watercolor-like techniques, without sacrificing color strength or permanence.
Only the highest quality color pigments, which have been selected for purity
and lightfastness, are used. All Tri-Art acrylics are manufactured with 100% pure
acrylic emulsion. New colors, with drastically improved permanence, have been chosen to
mimic the rich, transparent hues of older lake pigments. All colors have
very good to excellent resistance to fading. As with other Tri-Art acrylics,
each color in the line has been formulated to achieve the maximum
pigment concentration and color strength consistent with good handling properties and stability.
Because no fillers or extenders are used, most colors dry to a
natural gloss. Those with larger pigment particles create a more satin finish.
Colors will not separate or settle in the jar. They can be
readily mixed with Tri-Art mediums at any ratio, or with up to
50% water for increased transparency and economy. The paint film dries to
a flexible, water fast, and lightfast finish. The adhesive and waterfast properties
of Tri-Art Liquid Acrylics make them an obvious choice for painting and
printing on fabric. |

Old Holland Classic Oil Colors - Old Holland has been making artist colors
since 1664, making it one of the oldest continuously operating companies in
the art supplies industry. The company is known for uncompromising adherance to
traditional techniques and standards. All color making is done by hand, and
all processes are controlled by artists. Pigments are ground in stone rather
than metal rollers, and colors are packaged in lead tubes rather than
the more modern aluminum alloy tubes, which eventually oxidize and decay. Old
Holland Oils are produced according to traditional recipes, those used for paintings
made in the 17th century. These paintings retain the clarity of their
colors to this day. That's durability. Like hundreds of years ago, only
the best pigments and binders are used to produce very concentrated and
light-fast paint, resulting in higher color strength, hiding power, and intensity. That
goes for all 168 colors listed here. Only cold-pressed linseed oil from
the first pressing is used for the binder. This optimizes oxidation (drying)
of the paint and also promotes permanence. The brush strokes flow out
better too. |
