The quality of the art materials is wonderful. I use a variety of colours and mediums and love the results
It was a bit expensive with all of the shipping costs, but I love the product and will use it in my work!
Gels, pastes or paints, Tri-Art products are my favorites. And what’s more they are Canadian 😉 Colors are incredible and highly pigmented. I loved the texture of the Medium Gel Gloss which was easy to work with.
I LOVE this colour, and usually pair it with a variety of reds. The high pigment load enables High-viscosity Phthalocyanine Turquoise Light to stand up to the strongest reds I pair it with, and the thick texture gives me infinite options for application. Like I said, I LOVE it!
I bought a jar of Tri-Art High Viscosity Ultramarine Blue a couple of weeks ago and I love it. It's thick and goes on smooth, leaving incredible textures on the canvas. The paint is highly pigmented too, so I know the fabulous colour will last long after the painting has been sold. Can't say enough good things about Tri-Art High Viscosity Ultramarine Blue. Or any Tri-Art high viscosity colours!
The watercolours are one of the best I have tried and their customer service is great. You can't go wrong with Tri-Art.
I bought your acrylic paints from Victory Supplies in Peterborough. I am getting back into painting after 25 years. I used to use Stevensons paints, which I found very good. I am finding that your paints dry darker, making it more challenging to mix colours. I believe you use a whitish acrylic medium in manufacturing your colours that dry clear, which would make the colours darker. I like buying Canadian, so will continue buying your paint. This is meant to be constructive critic.
With kind regards,

The color is extemely light. Almost pastel. Maybe the wrong label is on this?
It's nothing like the Color Swatch on the label. This is not accurate marketing.
Tried them when I first heard of them and have used them ever since. Great texture, great colours, great price.
This one is not my favourite but that’s only because it’s so transparent. I tried applying multiple layers and you still see the streaks of my brush. I’m better with more opaque colors.
I bought the green gold for a landscape painting I made of a golf green with the sun peeking through the trees. Lots of fog and sun rays, and many many shades of grey. The green gold was perfect as a base green - I even used it straight from the pot. I could have mixed this shade using the colours I already had but this shade made it sooo easy to use straight from the pot, and also makes beautiful yellow-greens and khaki greens by adding other colours. I will use this shade a lot in paintings of natural landscapes.
I have used Liquitex, Golden and the former now defunct Stevenson gel mediums. Liquitex pricing is prohibitive costly while Golden's viscosity is thinner, Stevensons was far more elastic and workable which I preferred. Tri-Art is fine but dries too fast and doesn't peak as well as Stevensons. Price is reasonable. Will use again.
Great cover won't serve well as a glazing..dries not too fast.allows texture to set in gradually. Glows but doesn't glare. Mixes well with a dab of other colours
So glad that I found a Canadian company that makes excellent quality art paints. I’ve tried most of the big brands (and some others) in this colour and I’m happy to say that it’s absolutely equal and a great value. I will be buying again
I’ve used many mediums, varnishes and top coats, nothing compares to Tri-Art’s Liquid Glass. Easy to use and makes my paintings look great.!
Highest quality paints. The pigment saturation is unmatched. I am a forever Tri-Art client!
I used the interference gold to paint a landscape from a photo I took of a foggy field at dawn…mixed with zinc white, it gives this beautiful transparent glow to the image even after finishing with a matte varnish. Love this colour!
The paint is very stiff with oil separating in the tube. It is not workable without medium or solvent.
Love the consistency and coverage of this paint, and really love that it is made in Canada!
These dry flat and semi glossed. Worth it.
