Favorite Acrylic Paint for Workshops

We teach several classes where we use acrylic paints. Our students need good coverage and great color. After trying several brands we've found MontMarte Signature Acrylic Colours to be the best student-grade option for us. These paints works great for a variety of applications and are priced well.

In our Gelli Plate Printmaking class, we use the 48pc Acrylic Colour Signature Paint Set. We LOVE the variety of colors and intensity. With so many colors, we don't need to do much color-mixing which means more time spent making prints during class. The coverage is good and spreads well. The paints dry a bit fast which works to our advantage in this case. Fast drying means we don't have to wait that long to add new layers to the prints. We love the tubes for easy application of small dots on the plates and helps control the amount paint used.

We use MontMarte brand paints in our Paint and Sip, Pet Portraits and Art Journals workshops as well. The intensity of color is always a big hit with students and they cover the canvas well.

MontMarte Paints were used in all of these projects.
