Not the friendliest Acrylic to use

Comments about Chromacryl Acrylic Essentials:

Not the friendliest Acrylic to use. I am an art instructor and found the Blickacrylic is wonderful. It has a great consistancy, covers very well....simply enough very user friendy, great quality and very reasonably priced. The Acrylic Essental paint was a bit gloppy and required water or another medium to get it to flow on the canvas. Blickacrylic is the way to go.. I believe you will be very happy with this chioc.

Great value, great colors

Comments about Chromacryl Acrylic Essentials:

Colors are vibrant and mix well. The liquid's consistency was silky, flowed nicely and provided excellent coverage on watercolor paper. I'm using this paint in workshops on art-making as a mindfulness practice for adults and I appreciated the packaging and neutral looking labels on the bottles. I'd never want to offer adults materials that look like they are make for children's play, which would be insulting to some people.

The bottle practically exploded when opened at high altitude. This is not a defect in the bottles, just something that happens in this geographic environment. When piercing the seal inside the lids yesterday before teaching a workshop the paint shot all over the place, splattering my clothes, the floor and table top. One of the exciting aspects of teaching workshops in Denver. BUT, as mentioned in the paint's description, it did indeed all wash out.

Awesome paint for the $.

Comments about Chromacryl Acrylic Essentials:

I teach adult art classes to people that have never painted before. So, the paint needs to be creamy and cover the canvas easily without being too transparent or thin. Also, since the students take their paintings home for decorating, the pigment needs to be quality. This paint is the best I've found for the money. It moves easily, vibrant colors, comes in large quantities for classes. I would recommend this product to any artist, whether the paint is being used to teach, mural, paint seriously or piddle.
