Frequently Asked Questions

CanvasMate acrylic paints are designed for artists of all skill levels, our acrylic paints offer smooth application, exceptional blend ability, and vibrant color for beginners, while providing the reliable performance and compatibility with professional acrylic mediums that experienced artists expect.
Our acrylic paints are water-based and formulated with artist use in mind. While they are generally safe when used as intended, they are not specifically designed as children's paints. Adult supervision is recommended for young users, and the paint should not be ingested or applied to skin.
Once dry, acrylic paint forms a durable, flexible film with excellent adhesion. While standard acrylic paints cannot be reactivated after fully curing, limited reactivation may be possible shortly after drying, depending on the formulation and environmental conditions. For a permanent, water-resistant finish and enhanced protection from moisture, UV exposure, and abrasion, allow the paint to cure completely and then apply a suitable varnish or protective finish.
The acrylic paints may exhibit a slight color shift as it dries due to the evaporation of water. The degree of shift varies by color and pigment, but it is generally minimal.
Our Fluid/Soft Body acrylics are formulated to offer the best of both worlds, providing the smooth handling and control of a soft body acrylic with the enhanced flow of a fluid acrylic. This versatile consistency makes them suitable for brushwork, layering, and blending.
We recommend starting with the primary colors—red, blue, and yellow. Our selection includes multiple shades of each primary, from mid-tones to deeper hues, giving you greater flexibility to mix a wider range of vibrant and nuanced colors.
