For the older child, these Heavy Body acrylic paints are not slimy and shiny, but thick and buttery and are very versatile. They have a high pigmentation giving vibrant clean colours and are perfect for colour mixing. Ideal for art, craft and design work. These paints can be used on most stable surfaces including thick paper, card, canvas, wood, ceramics and glass. They don't crack on drying even when applied in thick layers.
Many contemporary artists use acrylics because they are easy to handle. They are perfect for painting flat broad planes of colour. They can imitate many paint techniques-watercolour, oil paint, tempera and Gouache.
Do not underestimate your child’s ability to handle these materials. Perfect for the art student too.
Acrylic paints dry very fast. Do not leave them hanging around loaded in paint. Wash them in thoroughly with soap and cold water, dry them with a cloth. Look after your brushes and they will last and last.
