About this product range
  • Superior quality at an unbeatable value
  • Excellent for students and beginners
  • High pigment loads
  • Thick, oil paint-like textures
  • Permanent, lightfast finish

Blick Studio Acrylics offer an impressive range of features at a stellar value. Unlike most student-grade acrylic colors, they’re produced on a traditional three-roll mill, resulting in denser pigment loads, heightened color intensity, and outstanding covering power.

Thick and smooth with an oil-paint-like texture, colors hold their shape on virtually any surface, drying to a lightfast, flexible film.

History
Pyrrole Red, used as an automotive paint and as a colorant in plastics, was developed as one of a range of pigments to replace lead based pigments. In art materials, it is often used as a synthetic and lightfast replacement for carmine, a laked pigment that was originally produced from the body of the cochineal insect. It is also used to replace the older naphthol reds, organic red pigments that are sometimes only marginally lightfast and weatherfast.
