Fine Art Acrylic Paint

Fine Art Acrylic Paint for Artists and Creative Studios

Global Colours Fine Art Acrylic Paint offers strong colour and excellent versatility. The range suits artists, students, studios, educators and creative makers.

Apply the paint with a brush for smooth or expressive marks. Use a palette knife to create structure and visible texture. You can also dilute the colour carefully for transparent washes.

Compatible acrylic mediums let you change the flow, drying time, transparency, gloss and texture.

Explore More Than 50 Acrylic Paint Colours

The Fine Art Acrylic range offers more than 50 colours in 500ml jars. The palette includes primary colours, earth tones, pastels, deep shades, black and white.

You can also choose metallic and fluorescent finishes. Metallic colours add reflective highlights and decorative effects. Fluorescent shades create bright results for displays, artwork and bold creative projects.

Use the filters above to browse by finish and opacity:

Each product page identifies the colour and its opacity. This helps you choose the right paint for solid coverage, layered colour or transparent effects.

Use Fine Art Acrylics for Brushwork, Texture and Washes

Fine Art Acrylic Paint supports a wide range of techniques. Use it for:

• canvas and art-board painting;
• brushwork and palette-knife techniques;
• colour mixing;
• impasto and textured effects;
• transparent washes;
• acrylic pouring;
• decorative art;
• murals and larger projects;
• mixed-media artwork;
• classroom and studio activities.

Apply the paint directly for stronger coverage and texture. Add a small amount of water for lighter washes.

Avoid adding too much water when you need a strong acrylic film. Use an acrylic medium when you want to change the paint’s consistency without weakening it.

Create Pours, Glazes and Dimensional Texture

Mix Fine Art Acrylic Paint with Pouring Medium to create fluid pours, flip cups and marbled effects. The medium helps the colours flow and level across the surface.

Use other acrylic mediums, gels and pastes to adjust the paint for different techniques. A glazing medium increases transparency. A slow-drying medium gives you more blending time. Gloss gels add depth and shine.

For heavier texture, combine the paint with 3D Modelling Paste. Apply the paste with a spatula or palette knife. Build deep texture in separate layers and allow each layer to dry before adding more.

Zero-VOC Acrylic Paint Made in Australia

Global Colours makes its Fine Art Acrylic Paint in Sydney, Australia. The water-based formula contains no volatile organic compounds. It also suits vegan and cruelty-free purchasing preferences.

The paint dries quickly and becomes water resistant after it dries. It remains flexible across thin washes and heavier applications.

Recyclable packaging supports a more considered approach to art materials. The paint also works with the wider Global Colours acrylic and medium ranges.
