Chroma Atelier Interactive Artists' Acrylics - Assorted Colors, Set of 7

Paint fast or paint slow with Chroma Atelier Interactive Acrylics! 

Formulated using a patented technology, Atelier Interactive Acrylics offer artists a versatile set of working properties unlike those of any other paint. In application, they perform like conventional acrylics, allowing for traditional painting and glazing techniques. Yet they also give you unique control over the drying process&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;plus the ability to reactivate the paint, even when dry. 

Professional-quality Atelier Interactive Acrylics are lightfast and archival, with exceptional consistency, brushability, and color load. They dry to a velvety satin finish. When purchased in 80 ml tubes, they offer one-third more paint than standard 60 ml tubes&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;and often costs less.

Chroma Atelier Interactive Artists' Acrylics are the world's only acrylic paints that can be used for conventional acrylic painting techniques, but when needed, artists can easily take advantage of their unique ability to rehydrate for blending techniques.

-   As an alternative to gouache, they dry to a more vibrant, less fragile finish 
-   The paints adhere strongly to glossy magazine pages and other slick surfaces, and won't scratch off 
-   Pencils, pastels, crayons, markers, and other media all easily adhere  
-   As an alternative to ink, these paints have the same wonderful flow but are bolder, more heavily pigmented, and more durable
