All About Atelier A2 Acrylic

This month my subject is Atelier A2. Atelier A2 Acrylic is specially designed for the needs of serious art students and hobby painters who wish to avoid the expense of buying top end professional colours while they are learning. It is available in bottles, jars and tubes.

I think we may have outdone ourselves, making Atelier A2 Acrylic so good that it even compares with our professional quality Atelier Interactive Acrylic colours. All colours are heavy-loaded with brilliant pigment so you quickly get the coverage and results you want.

Please watch the below videos in order, which will serve as a virtual workshop on the features of Atelier A2 and how to use this paint with mediums in order to exploit its properties for wet-in-wet blending, overpainting by glazing and its consistency for impasto painting.

QUESTION: Can a one price artists' acrylic compare with a professional artists' quality colour?

ANSWER: YES! Our Atelier A2 Acrylic most certainly can - and here's why.

1. All 20 colours can be intermixed with our professional quality colours. Everything is compatible and matched which means you have a real advantage when doing large paintings where lots of colour is needed. Using Atelier A2 Acrylic for the large acreage saves you heaps.*
2. All 20 colours have been specially selected to properly teach you important colour mixing skills.*
3. Using cheap junk paint will severely limit your artistic potential. Because Atelier A2 Acrylic is so heavily pigmented, heavy-bodied and expressive it will lift your work to a whole new level without breaking the bank. If you have an art teacher they will love you for using it.
4. Atelier A2 Acrylic is compatible with our whole range of Painting Mediums, Grounds and Varnishes so you can explore and learn how to get the effects the professional artists use.
