Are these acrylics suitable as a paint for pouring?
Yes, but you will get through certain colours very quickly therefore the jumbo tubes may be preferable. Try mixing with PVA (polyvinyl acetate) and water.
Can these paints be used for fabric painting e.g. canvas shoes? And for outdoor items like plant pots, signs?
Yes, they can be used on canvas shoes but you should seal with a clear waterproofing agent. Regarding outdoor items, allow to fully dry before exposure to rain. A coat of clear varnish will offer protection.
Can I use these on glass?
Yes, as long as the glass isn’t going to be washed and you are very careful. Why not try clear perspex as an alternative.
Are these suitable for using to block in colours in order to then use oil paints over them?
They are a superb ‘fast drying’ option for underpainting oil paintings.
Can Castle Arts acrylic paints be used to paint on wood?
You can - use the paint straight from the tube and minimise the amount of dilution to stop the wood from warping. Try first coating the surface first with a proprietary brand white primer.
Curated by our in-house experts, the twelve, pure, extra-vibrant essential shades arranged in easy-to-pick colour families make up an irresistible invitation to get started as an acrylic artist.
Squeeze the rich, premium quality acrylic paint in extra-vibrant colours direct from the tube for bold impact and opaque coverage or simply thin with water for precise details; clean and easy to work with – no mess.
Enjoy the sensation of laying down creamy, pure pigments with brush or palette knife - quick drying so you can quickly build up layers without muddying, create glazes and produce eye-catching textures on paper, canvas or wood… and much more.
Mighty Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, England, goes back to the 6th century AD and now houses the gallery where our resident artist Peter Phillips exhibits. A painter of global repute, he and his team of artists specify our art supplies, create our Guides and Tutorials, produce our videos and provide practical advice and know-how born of a lifelong love of art.
You’ll get more out of everything because we put more into everything. In our dedicated studios our artistic and technical staff test competitive brands, and where they fall short, we develop better materials – in the formulation and selection of pigments; the touch, feel and comfort in use; tools, packaging and presentation that look and work better.
