What artists say.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I am a Canadian landscape artist. I am very particular about the paint that I use. I use mostly heavy body acrylic such as Golden or Liquitex. I began looking for a Canadian alternative and found Tri-Art. To my surprise they out-performed most of the paint I had been using.

I have been a Tri-Art user for many many years and they are my favourite acrylic paint. They are Canadian and that is very important to me!

Ordering was easy and delivery was timely. I'm looking forward to trying a Canadian product reportedly of the same quality as Golden. I will be sure to come back and update once I've actually used it.
