Refined with the purest pigments and 100 percent acrylic resin, Derwent Academy acrylic paints provide superior tinting strength, coverage power, light-fastness, consistency and color brilliance. Upon drying, Derwent Academy acrylic paints form a protective water-resistant film that retains the color of your artwork without yellowing or cracking. This ensures that the artwork colors and finish are well preserved and won’t fade with sunlight and air exposure. Available in a wide range of highly pigmented colors that can be used straight from the tube, combined with other colors or diluted with artist mediums. Derwent Academy acrylic paints are completely intermixable and applicable to a range of surfaces including canvas, paper, wood, leather and fabrics.
