FAQs
Are these paints suitable for beginners?
Yes, the soft body formulation and non-toxic nature make them excellent for beginners. They are easy to handle, blend, and clean up.
Can I mix these colors with other acrylic paints?
Yes, Arteza acrylic paints are generally intermixable with most water-based acrylic paints. However, always test a small area first if using with a different brand to ensure compatibility.
How long does the paint take to dry completely?
Drying time varies depending on the thickness of application, humidity, and temperature. Typically, a thin layer dries to the touch in 15-30 minutes, but full curing can take 24-72 hours.
Do I need a primer before painting on wood or canvas?
Priming is recommended, especially for raw canvas or unfinished wood, to ensure better adhesion, prevent the paint from soaking in too much, and achieve truer colors. Gesso is a common primer.
Can I use these paints for outdoor projects?
While the paints can be used on outdoor objects like rocks or wood, they are not inherently weatherproof. For outdoor use, applying a durable, exterior-grade sealant over the dried paint is highly recommended to protect against the elements.
Is the matte finish permanent, or can I add a gloss varnish?
The matte finish is the natural drying state of the paint. You can absolutely apply a varnish or sealant over the dried paint to achieve a gloss, satin, or even a different matte finish, depending on the top coat you choose.
How should I store the paint bottles?
Store the paint bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Make sure the caps are sealed tightly after each use to prevent the paint from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or stiff
Stir the paint gently with a brush or palette knife. If still too thick, add a small amount of water (a few drops) and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, as it can alter the paint's consistency and adhesion.
Paint is drying too quickly on the palette
Work in smaller batches on your palette. Consider using a stay-wet palette or a spray bottle with water to lightly mist the paints on the palette to extend their working time.
Colors are not vibrant after drying
Ensure an even, consistent layer of paint was applied. For darker or more intense colors, multiple thin layers may be required. Make sure the surface is not overly absorbent, which can dull the color.
Paint is peeling or flaking off the surface
The surface may not have been adequately prepared (clean, dry, free of dust/oil). Ensure proper adhesion was achieved. For non-porous surfaces, a primer or sealant may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This acrylic paint set requires no special setup. Simply uncap the bottles and stir the paint gently with a brush or palette knife before use, especially if the paint has been stored for an extended period. Ensure your chosen surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility:
These acrylics are designed for use on a wide variety of porous and non-porous surfaces including canvas, wood, paper, fabric, ceramics, glass, and rocks. For non-porous surfaces like glass or treated wood where extreme durability is needed, consider applying a compatible acrylic sealant or varnish after the paint has fully dried.
Care:
- Cleaning Brushes and Tools: Wash brushes, palette knives, and other tools with soap and warm water immediately after use, before the paint dries. Dried acrylic paint can be difficult to remove.
- Storage: Store the paint bottles upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure caps are tightly closed to prevent the paint from drying out.
- Surface Care: Once dry, artwork created with this paint can typically be cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, especially on delicate surfaces or fabric applications.
