With a creamy and homogeneous texture, rich and bright colors, vivid and intense tones, Sennelier extra-fine acrylic is aimed at artists looking for a wide variety of results with the same paint. Sennelier used the ingredients that made his pastels, oils, watercolors, inks and gouaches notorious. The brand selected pigments of the highest quality, which come from the most demanding chemistry laboratories, in order to maximize the purity and clarity of the shades.

With 120 shades, Sennelier offers one of the widest palettes on the market, which consists of 4 interfering colors and 6 iridescent tones. Sennelier also developed a very complete offer of fluid and gel mediums, varnishes and other auxiliary products in order to modify the texture, viscosity, transparency or luminosity of the paint at will. In this way, the artist can glaze, polish, bind, hide, cover, lengthen or variegate, according to his tastes, and also create his own recipes!

The objective of this new range is to create a color that offers a consistency and a result similar to those of extra-fine oil paint. So, the texture is that of a paste color, that is, creamy, unctuous and in which the mark of the brush or spatula remains. With 120 shades, Sennelier offers one of the widest palettes on the market. These are colors with a high pigment content (mostly mono-pigment), which were chosen to provide the best possible stability over time. Sennelier also once again chose colors that made his range of extra-fine oil paints famous. The swatch then includes the traditional ultramarine, earth and ocher colors. In addition, it has shades that come from pigments based on cadmium and cobalt. Finally, some colors based on quinacridone, pyrrole, naphthol and phthalocyanine come from recent research and offer new possibilities to painters. Among the 120 shades, there are also 4 interfering colors, meaning they reflect two different colors depending on the viewing angle. The range also consists of 6 iridescent colors with a metallic effect.

Sennelier maintains the tradition of artisanal manufacturing and controls its quality in a strict and constant manner. Each stage of production is tested in the laboratory. A product is marketed only after a series of tests confirm that it meets the very strict requirements regarding respect for colors, light fastness, consistency, saturation, value, pH and shelf life. drying. All products in the extra-fine acrylic range comply with the North American standard ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D4236 in terms of toxicity and safety. The colors are also in compliance with the ASTM D5098 standard, which attests to their good light resistance.

Sennelier extra-fine acrylic makes it possible to work in thickness, in glazing, in combination with other techniques such as pastel, charcoal or ink, in superimposition, or the creation of gluing and inlays of different materials. It can be used outdoors as well as in the workshop. There are 120 colors available in 60 ml and 200 ml tubes. It gives very good adhesion on numerous grease-free supports: paper, painting canvas, cardboard with fabric, wood, fabric, cement, plaster, some plastics and metals. You can work with the brush, the spatula, the metal palette, directly with the tube to obtain thick lines or even with your fingers. Thanks to their excellent spreadability, all Sennelier extra-fine acrylic colors can be mixed without difficulty in order to obtain an infinite number of shades, without spoiling the luminosity of the shades. They are excellent for fillings and can be combined with Sennelier auxiliaries to modify the texture, viscosity, transparency or luminosity at will.

Sennelier extra-fine acrylic is low in odor and dries quickly to give an indelible, insoluble film that does not crack, does not yellow and is water resistant. The variation in results that can occur after drying is very low or non-existent depending on the nuances.
