My mentor, Meshka(whimsical fluid artist) recommended Tri-art as a potential use for my classrooms. They offer Art NOISE as an economic option without sacrificing quality pigment. I do art therapy and a majority of my expenses are out of pocket(I won’t let someone’s financial distress prevent them from therapeutic classes). Of course I bought way more than just art noise. I purchased Rheo Tech, Low viscosity, liquid acrylic, High Viscocity tube paint, the entire metallics line, and a range of mediums and gels to try in different finishes. I was very impressed with the packaging and care that went into my box. It’s been almost a month and I’ve now had a chance to experiment with every purchase I made.
I was really excited the art noise was able to mixed to create different colors and I did not get mud. The vibrancy and concentration of their low viscosity pigments is incredible and economical long term as the pigments can be diluted extensively.(I’m at about 10X original concentration without any flocculation!) so a 2 ounce bottle of highly pigmented low viscosity paint can easily make 20 ounces of paint In a range from soft to heavy body. Textured and fluid. When you calculate that price point it’s phenomenal…and I don’t think I’m even close to the limits. I have a feeling some colors can go even more if you’re using the right binders. Maybe double my highest!!
I recommend bulk where available for cost efficiency!!!
I am forever a tri art customer! And will always shop from the source! It’s hard to find an archival brand that has sustainable prices. I totally respect that higher quality cost more and I’m
Happy to pay it! Tri art costs for such a superior quality is genuinely reasonable. Thank you so much!!! Your loyal customer!
I love my interference colors! The Blue Turquoise and Purple are my favorites. I am curious about red.
Great product but the kids often break and it’s hard to keep the contents from drying out.
Completely compatible with the same colour I was using from a different brand. Transparent, good consistency (not too runny). Versatile green on its own or to add a punch to other green mixtures.
Can’t say more good things about this product. Each piece I’ve created with liquid mirror has been better and better.
Tri-Art High Viscosity - C.P. Cadmium Yellow Light
Works as advertised, so I’m pleased with my purchase. If the paint is too thin, it doesn’t peel off as easily, but I use sticky tape and it comes off cleanly.
I love all Tri Art Fluid and high viscosity paints! The carbon black and the fluids are a great consistency! Also shipping is super fast! I will be placing another order soon!
I really like Rheo Tech titanium white. For painting white backgrounds it has a wonderful creamy texture... wonderful for palette work!
Customer service reached out to me based on my previous review. They sent me a new bottle free of charge. I had used Sap Green before and I was extremely impressed with how well it covered when thinned down to a glaze. Sap Green Light, however, seemed to not thin as well. Between the two (Sap Green and Sap Green Light) I was able to apply more layers (4) of Sap Green without achieving full color saturation/intensity. After just 2 layers of Sap Green Light I was at almost full saturation/intensity. Maybe I didn’t thin then equally, but I was surprised at how strong the Sap Green Light achieved almost full saturation. Regardless, I still find Tri-Art to be my first choice for fluid acrylics over Golden, Holbein, DaVinci, and all other hobby paints (Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, etc.)
Order could not have been delivered quicker. Had some small cracks on first pour ( might not have cleaned fluid painting enough, poured a second coat and is fine. A lot easier than resin and not as hazardous. Will be using it more.
Not the same shade shown on the website
A favourite colour, I panicked a little when I ran out of it.
the consistency of the Tri-Art Liquid Acrylics are perfect, blend well and go on smooth. Ideal!
This is a well-performing acrylic polymer for collage and thinning acrylic paints. I love that it comes in a 3.78 litre plastic bottle which makes it an excellent value.
My first negative experience with Tri-Art Fluid Acrylics. I was excited to receive this and Sap Green in the mail so I could begin painting some Wood Elf miniatures. My first squeeze of the bottle yielded nothing. I squeezed even harder a second and there was a bit of a pop sound and a whole load of super thick paint shot out of the bottle. Having used other Tri-Art fluid acrylics I knew this was the wrong consistency. I added about 5 drops of flow improver to help thin the paint, but it did nothing. This particular bottle has a consistency between heavy and soft body acrylic. I don't think this is the intended consistency. Maybe the bottle I received had been sitting on a shelf for quite some time.
I wasn’t sure what to do with this paint. This is my only single pigment transparent orange acrylic paint I own. After repeated failed attempts at creating transparent skin colors I decided to add a bunch of white to this paint on a whim. With a little bit of adjustment using Yellow Oxide I was able to create a very peachy skin tone. I’m thinking I found my base color for skin tones.
Spectral Colour- Teal is an absolutely beautiful product. It adds delicious colour and depth to my work, and makes me looks for even more occasions to use it!
I paint fantasy miniatures using transparent paints over en grissaile under painting. When I saw the color swatch my first thought was, “This would be perfect for red beards and hair.” After receiving the paint in the mail I tried it out on a mini…. and perfection! I couldn’t be happier!
