The watercolours are one of the best I have tried and their customer service is great. You can't go wrong with Tri-Art.
I bought your acrylic paints from Victory Supplies in Peterborough. I am getting back into painting after 25 years. I used to use Stevensons paints, which I found very good. I am finding that your paints dry darker, making it more challenging to mix colours. I believe you use a whitish acrylic medium in manufacturing your colours that dry clear, which would make the colours darker. I like buying Canadian, so will continue buying your paint. This is meant to be constructive critic.
With kind regards,

Tried them when I first heard of them and have used them ever since. Great texture, great colours, great price.
I bought the green gold for a landscape painting I made of a golf green with the sun peeking through the trees. Lots of fog and sun rays, and many many shades of grey. The green gold was perfect as a base green - I even used it straight from the pot. I could have mixed this shade using the colours I already had but this shade made it sooo easy to use straight from the pot, and also makes beautiful yellow-greens and khaki greens by adding other colours. I will use this shade a lot in paintings of natural landscapes.
