Acrylic Paint

Acrylic Paint for Artists, Students, Craft & Models:

Smartfox’s acrylic paint range covers a wide variety of painting styles, from student and introductory acrylics through to professional artist colours, fluid and impasto formulations, craft paints and specialist model paints. Brands represented include Liquitex, Reeves, FolkArt, FAS, Matisse, Jo Sonja’s, ShinHan, Chromacryl, Jasart, DecoArt, Vallejo and The Army Painter.

Artist & Student Acrylic Paint:

For canvas and general art painting, the collection includes individual acrylic colours in an extensive palette as well as multi-colour paint sets. Liquitex Basics provides medium-viscosity artist-quality colours for techniques such as sketching and underpainting, while FAS Student Acrylic offers rapid-drying colours designed for student and general art use. Larger Chromacryl student paints are also available, including 2-litre formats.

More specialised artist options include ShinHan Professional acrylic colours and Matisse Fluid acrylics. Matisse Fluid has a flowing consistency suited to fine brushwork, while FAS Impasto is deliberately thick for retaining expressive brush strokes and palette-knife marks.

Craft, Multi-Surface & Outdoor Acrylics:

The range extends beyond conventional canvas painting. FolkArt acrylic paints include standard and multi-surface formulations in 59ml bottles, while DecoArt Patio Paint is formulated for outdoor decorating on surfaces such as concrete, wood and terracotta.

For decorative effects, selected ranges include pearlescent, fluorescent, metallic, gold and copper colours, providing alternatives to standard opaque shades.

Acrylic Paint for Models & Miniatures:

Model makers and miniature painters can choose from compact specialist acrylics, including Vallejo Model Air and The Army Painter colours. These smaller-format paints sit alongside the larger tubes, bottles and tubs intended for art and craft applications.

Choosing the Right Acrylic Paint:

Start with the surface and painting technique. Student and general-purpose acrylics are practical for learning, everyday artwork and larger projects; professional artist colours suit work where pigment and handling characteristics are more important. Choose fluid acrylic for smoother flow and detailed brushwork, impasto paint for pronounced texture, or specialist craft, outdoor and model acrylics when the surface or application requires a dedicated formulation.
