They are beautiful products. I am very, very happy with them and I will continue buying more and more.
During my selection between the classic and the "new" modern Ultramarine, I selected modern because it seemed more vibrant than the classic in the website. But what the site colour analysis failed to do is not indicating how the colours affect other colours during mixing. Now, I have a big problem.
Not only is the colour vibrant, which it is good, but the hue is in the red shade and its value is lighter than the classic Ultramarine.
My current painting is based on the classic blue-which is in green shade and darker in value. NOw no matter How I mix the modern blue I can not colour match my current blue, and all its saturated shades and tints in the canvas. NOw , My grey shades of blue are off value-aka out wack!
Had I known this problem if was stipulated on the site, I would picked the classic. Right now I only used .5 percent of the tube, and because of this problem my work is on hold . Let me know if I can exchange this item for the classic Ultramarine. If yes I will send you this modern blue tube back for an exchange. If not , let me know, so I can go to buy some golden Ultramarine blue (green shade) -as indicated it all of golden tubes somewhere else, because I'm in Markham and not driving all the way to Kingston nor ship courier for small tube of paint. Let me know asap, as I need to finish my work; everything is on hold because this modern blue dilemma.
Thank you

I picked-up some of this 'solid' ink in Peterborough, & it is gelatinous. I was desparate to finish a project, so I used some & it is amazing! I can raise the viscosity with water or specialty medium, but I just use it raw to age & darken my artwork with texture! It resembles oil or ooze. Thank you Tri-Art!
I bought the "new " Ultramarine blue , because it looked good-slight more vibrant,bitmore intense. But until you test it, I don't exactly know how it will affect and behave with other colors. When I mixed it with alizirin-crimson, or med red with TI White , it turns to a WA Grey, not COOL Grey, which I need. Now I can not match my previous cool grey from a classic Ultramarine Blue.
Essentially the difference is that Classic Ultramarine is a red shade vs Modern which is a red shade blue. Tri art meedf to stipulate this on the web site when selecting classic vs Modern. Having said this, can I send this back to have it exchanged to classic Ultramarine Blue?
Despite emailing to ask the company to help me recover a surface that was damaged by 'liquid glass' I failed to find out if I can polish the scratches and marks out with a buffing wheel. I had to order a second surface as my client only wanted aluminum. Now as I work on the new panel, I'm seeing tiny imperfections and the surface is incredibly difficult to work on. The brushed aluminum was meant to be my negative space and show through the art I'm disappointed in the product and I'm disappointed in the customer service.
This phthalo turquoise is unlike any other paint of the same name, so deep, rich and gorgeous!
Thank you for sending me these samples of your products. I LOVE the Tri-Art fluid acrylics and the RheoTech paints. Both have excellent pigment load and really nice consistency. The colors I got are great too. The Art Noise Acrylic Gouache are great colors, but much less pigment, and it takes several coats to get true opacity. These should be great for some applications. And they are relatively inexpensive, so I’d recommend them for beginner painters who want a lot of colors without breaking the bank.
A note on the packaging: the lids seem a little flimsy, and I wonder if they break off easily. I LOVE having bilingual labeling! Here in the States there is so little of it, and because I study French I find it really useful. Bilingual labeling is probably not optional in Canada, but still I wanted to say how much I appreciate it!
love the high viscosity acrylic ! my go to place to buy painting products love tri-art paints
Not sure how valuable my opinion is on this since im pretty new to painting itself but by far out of the 8 brands of acrylics that ive tried tri-art as surpassed! it dries fast but not too fast so you cant rush a quick blend in there , spreads like butter but is thick like marshmallow fluff dillutes extremelly well with water and the coverage is unreal opacity is next level ! im sold never will i ever buy anywhere else !
Great products and I am so impressed with Pyrrole Red Medium that it makes Rihanna Fenty beauty cry and beg for forgiveness!!! Superstar****!
Been wanting these paints for a long time, and I finally got some! These paints are bright and very beautiful. I been a tri-art believer for a long time now, and always will be. I also use their high viscosity acrylics for airbrushing. :). Once I finish a painting I will submit what I have done with these paints. (I take forever), and maybe one day I will have all tri-art watercolors....
Unfortunately I came away disappointed. Very thin and streaky. Not at all opaque for gouache. When dry seems to have a hit of gloss, not fully matte like gouache. I'm sorry to say it is truly craft store quality.
As an oil painter with 25 years of experience, and working professionally since 2017, I’ve experimented with many of the big-brand gessoes, but I consistently find that Tri-Art’s gesso stands out in terms of quality and affordability. It offers an excellent tooth and a great absorption rate for oil paint, making it ideal for my work.
For full transparency, I have collaborated with Tri-Art in the past, testing their oil paints, though they didn’t quite align with my particular style. However, I am not sponsored by Tri-Art and genuinely recommend their gesso based on my personal experience.
...for a very long time, and now that I have...they are incredible, and beautiful in every way, I wish I had the whole watercolor line! Thank you guys again for a pleasant experience while ordering.
The best. Beautiful texture. Thanks Tri-Art
Can’t believe the speed of delivery to the prairies! Well done. Good prices and love supporting a Canadian company!
