Acrylic colours

Acrylic colours are a quick-drying paint based on 100% acrylic resin (a synthetic dispersion). When applying acrylic colours thinly and/or thinned with water, a watercolour effect can be obtained. Usually, however, acrylic colours are applied thickly and the result appears like that of oil colours. Many artists prefer acrylic colours because acrylic colours dry much more quickly than oil colours and are practically odourless.

Royal Talens Acrylic Paints have high durability and are therefore ideal not only for painting on all fat-free surfaces (paper, cardboard, canvas, wood, hardboard, concrete, chipboard, gypsum, etc), but also for outdoor murals.

Royal Talens Acrylic Paints all have a high to very high lightfastness and they can be diluted with water. They have good covering power. These paints contain no heavy metals. The consistency is slightly thin, making them ideal for transparent techniques.
