Four ways to work.
Every viscosity, every application, every painting style. Pick the line that matches the hand you paint with.
High Viscosity
Heavy body for impasto, knife work, and expressive texture. Comparable to Golden Heavy Body and Liquitex Professional.
Liquid Acrylics
Fluid pourable colour for layering, staining, and pouring. Comparable to Golden Fluid and High Flow.
Low Viscosity
Water-thin and free-flowing for fine detail work, airbrush, and smooth coverage.
Acrylic Mediums
Gels, gesso, varnishes and texture mediums to extend, finish, and transform.
Pigments milled to single-particle dispersion in our Kingston facility. Higher load, cleaner colour, no fillers.
Where colour permits, every paint is a single pigment load. Cleaner mixing, predictable colour theory.
Lightfastness rated and printed on every label. Archival quality, certified to North American art materials standards.
Every batch logged, sampled, and traceable from raw pigment to finished tube. Consistency you can rely on across orders.
I use mostly heavy body acrylic such as Golden or Liquitex. I began looking for a Canadian alternative and found Tri-Art. To my surprise they out-performed most of the paint I had been using.
