Tri-Art High Viscosity Carbon Black
High viscosity acrylic paint praised by customers for excellent performance and quality. Shoppers said it's 'absolutely amazing' and performs well as a heavy body paint. More affordable than competitors with good availability. Minor issue reported with jar lids being difficult to unscrew at times. Overall highly rated.
Once I found out how to use Liquid Mirror, I changed my mind about it's value in my paint box. It is now worth its weight in gold!
Super impressed with the quality and versatility of Tri Art High Viscosity line. Great variety of colours and an added bonus that the company is Canadian.
These acrylics hold brush strokes and texture better than other brands. I tested it with this starter set and then ordered a lot more! Great paint!
Prussian Blue is my favourite of all the blues. I have used several tubes over the past few years and now buy it in the 250 ml. jar. Love it!
This paint mixed well to give me the colour I needed. It provides brilliant colour and excellent coverage.
I am a Canadian landscape artist, Jim White Fine Art. I am very particular about the paint that I use. I use mostly heavy body acrylic such as Golden or Liquitex, however, they are not made in Canada. I began looking for a Canadian alternative and found Tri-Art. To my surprise they out performed most of the paint I have been using. The best thing I like is they don’t sag as much as the others, which means they show brush marks very well. This works well with my impressionistic style of painting.
This has to be the best Cadmiumyellow Orange Acrylic paint I have ever used! The overage is smooth and very opaque. It has a smooth and even application with glowing intensity.
It’s a great highlight colour. Bright and covers well. When I need a hit of sunlight, CAD Orange is it.
I have been using Tri-Art High Viscosity paint for a number of years now and love how versatile it is. I can add retarder to increase the open time for increased blending on my large scale artwork where the paint is smoothly applied. It is also perfect for plein air impasto work. Thank you for this amazing Canadian product.
Love Tri-Art... That wonderful Pyrrole orange and Pyrrole red medium is what gives my submission "don't cry over spilt milk” its kick!!

Wanted to try it out as my base colour for a cell activator in my art style
Worked out well in the process used
Flip it or unscrew it.
Your Tri-Art tube has a dual-function cap: flip open or unscrew for use.
Getting the most from every Tri-Art tube
Your cap has two modes. Here is how and when to use each one, plus a few habits that make a real difference.
Flip open
Use the flip function during an active session. It lets you access paint quickly without fully removing the cap, which keeps threads cleaner and speeds up your workflow.
Note: If the flip hinge ever breaks with use, simply rest the cap back on the tube and use it as a standard screw cap going forward. The tube works perfectly either way.
Screw open
For overnight or longer-term storage, screw the cap down fully to create a complete seal. Firm contact is all that is needed; over-tightening is a common cause of cracked caps.
Three habits that make your tubes last
-
01
Wipe the nozzle before you cap it. A quick wipe with a damp cloth (threads and cap interior) takes five seconds and is the single most effective thing you can do. Acrylic cannot bond two surfaces if it never dries there.
-
02
Use the flip cap during active sessions. Reduces thread contact and keeps the seating surface cleaner between each squeeze.
-
03
If a cap has stiffened, use warm water. Hold the nozzle under warm running water for 30 to 60 seconds. The moisture softens dried paint at the threads enough to break free without forcing anything. Do not use boiling water.
