    Factors to Consider When Buying the Best Acrylic Paint for Canvas

    Two main ingredients

    Acrylic paints are characterized by the presence of two main ingredients: pigment and a binder consisting of an acrylic polymer emulsion.

    They dry faster than oil paints do, and they remain flexible after drying. While watercolors can be reactivated, acrylics cannot.

    Student-grade and artist-grade acrylic paint

    Artists may choose between student-grade and artist-grade acrylic paint. These two types of acrylic paint may have very different properties.

    Student paints have more filler than pigment, giving them a lower range of colors.

    It is less expensive, which makes it more feasible for practice and experimentation.

    Artist-grade paints contain far more pigment, giving them brighter, more vibrant colors.

    It’s typical to see a greater variety of colors at this grade as well. If you do opt for artist-quality paint, then you’ll likely find that they are much more expensive. This is clear when purchasing a set, but buying individual tubes makes it even more obvious.

    That’s because some colors cost more than others. This is attributable to the pigments used. Typically, paints that include cadmium are among the most expensive.

    Colorfastness of the paint

    When looking for the best acrylic paint brand for canvas, it is wise to consider the colorfastness of the paint. This refers to the degree to which the paint’s color will fade over time. The ASTM, an international organization,

    categorizes paints from I to III based on their colorfastness with a I being the maximum level.

    However, you may see some paint manufacturers using the AA designation to denote their most light-fast paint.

    Viscosity

    Another important factor when choosing acrylic paint is its viscosity.

    Also referred to as consistency, thicker paints typically make it easier to retain visible brushstrokes in a finished work. Thinner acrylics are ideal for making transparent washes or for use with an airbrush.

    Acrylic Paint for Canvas FAQs

    Do I need to buy artist-quality acrylic paint?

    Browsing reveals that artist-grade acrylics are more costly than student-grade. This is because they are made with higher quality pigments that may be difficult or more expensive to obtain. With this quality upgrade, it follows that these paints perform better in terms of lightfastness and permanence.

    However, if you’re a beginner, a hobbyist or a student, then there’s no need to blow your budget on artist-quality paints. Student-quality acrylics are quite good, and they cost less.

    This means that you’re free to experiment with blending, mixing and brushstrokes without worrying about expensive materials. If you decide to try selling your work, that’s the time to invest in artist-grade paints.

    Should I choose an acrylic paint that is more or less viscous?

    The viscosity or thickness of acrylic paint has a major impact on performance. A heavy body acrylic is buttery and thick, which makes color mixing and blending a breeze. It’s also able to maintain visible brushstrokes on the canvas. If you like, water can be used to thin these paints.

    Fluid acrylics have a thinner consistency that might be compared to ink. These are well-suited to achieving watercolor-like effects or for completing details. Some artists also use them for dry-brush work.

    Whether you choose a thick or thin paint is up to you and the project you’re working on. It’s wise to experiment with both to determine what works best.

    Is there a way to keep acrylic paint from drying so quickly?

    Many people prefer acrylics over oils because of their quick drying time. However, if you want to create blending effects or mix paint right on the canvas, this quick drying can be a problem. For these situations, consider adding a retarding medium to the paint that extends the drying time.

    It will take practice to get these techniques right, but it will definitely make your work more sophisticated.

     

    Making The Decision

    Choosing the best paint for canvas comes down to your personal preference and your artistic goals. Winsor & Newton oil colors are a fantastic pick for developing artists, but the Williamsburg paints are worth the splurge.

    If you’re going for acrylic, then we recommend the Benicci set while you can’t go wrong with the Reeves set for watercolor.
