FolkArt Acrylic Paint by Plaid

FolkArt® Acrylic Colors

Designed especially for decorative painters, the pigmentation and consistency of FolkArt allow the artist to accomplish the desired results for any style of strokework. It can be used to achieve transparent washes or blend like oils. No matter what kind of projects you're creating, with more than 250 colors, you are sure to find the shade you're looking for. There are even metallic and gem colors for special effects. The colors are constantly reviewed and updated to keep up with decorating trends.

FolkArt® Artists' Pigments™

In 1978, Priscilla Hauser, founder of the Society of Decorative Painters and Plaid author, pioneered into new territory with her Artist Polymer Acrylic Paint. While she was a bit before her time, Priscilla paved the way for FolkArt Artists' Pigments. These deep, true colors blend easily and maintain vibrancy when mixed. FolkArt Artists' Pigments have a higher pigment concentration than regular FolkArt paints and therefore have a better hide and more intense coverage. When combined with FolkArt Blending Gel, the Artists' Pigments take on the qualities of oils and produce fantastic texture. All of these qualities allow decorative painters to blend and shade to suit their individual needs.
