Acrylic paint

Acrylic paint: a versatile paint for all your artistic creations

Acrylic paint is a water-based paint, made of colored pigments mixed with an acrylic resin that acts as a binder. This mixture gives it a creamy texture, quick drying time, and excellent adherence to many surfaces: paper, cardboard, canvas, wood, plaster, metal or even plastic.

Widely used in the field of creative hobbies, acrylic paint appeals to both children and experienced artists. Easy to handle, it does not emit any strong odors, can be cleaned with water as long as it is not dry, and offers an infinite palette of colors, from matte to glossy, with surprising effects like glitter or pearlescent reflections.

Effect acrylic paint: glittery, pearlescent, metallic.

To give an original and bright touch to your creations, opt for our range of effect acrylic paints. The glittery acrylics incorporate fine sparkling glitter that catches the light, perfect for festive decorations or whimsical artworks. Pearlescent paints offer a delicate pearl effect, while metallic acrylics imitate the look of gold, silver, or copper, with an elegant and luminous finish. These paints are used like other acrylics but add a stunning visual effect with just one brushstroke.

Glossy acrylic paint: for a brilliant finish.

Glossy acrylic paint is characterized by its smooth and shiny finish. It gives a "varnished" look to your creations, particularly enhancing bright colors. Highly appreciated for modern decorations, vivid paintings, or decorative objects, it adds depth and light to artworks. It is also water-resistant once dry, making it a good choice for durable decorative projects.

Matte acrylic paint: for soft and natural creations.

For fans of subtle and elegant finishes, matte acrylic paint is a safe choice. Unlike the glossy version, it offers a non-reflective finish, with a soft and velvety surface, very pleasant visually and to the touch.

It is particularly suitable for clean creations, natural style decorations, or for painting backgrounds where one wishes to avoid any shiny effect. The matte finish absorbs light, allowing for a cozier and warmer atmosphere. It is highly regarded in scrapbooking projects, home décor projects, or painting on raw wood. We recommend using synthetic brushes with these acrylics, as they are known not to leave marks and to achieve beautiful even layers!

Pouring acrylic paint: for fluid and marbled effects.

The pouring technique, also known as acrylic pouring, is a playful and creative way to paint without a brush. It involves mixing fluid acrylic paint with a pouring medium to achieve a perfect texture, neither too thick nor too liquid. This mixture allows you to pour the paint directly onto the surface to create random and hypnotic effects, such as drips, cells, or marbled patterns.

At 10doigts, we offer ready-to-use pouring paints, ideal for beginners without complex preparation, or self-mixing versions for more customization. This technique is suitable for artists of all levels and is especially liked for its freedom of expression and the pleasure of letting colors mix naturally on the surface.

All our acrylic paints can be used on canvases on stretcher frames, and on stretched cardboard.
