Product Information
Full details
Pébéo Origin Acrylics are designed for eco-conscious artists who refuse to compromise on pigment intensity or professional-grade texture. This high-viscosity paint offers a rich, dense consistency perfect for impasto techniques while utilizing a 100% recycled binder to minimize environmental impact. While its exceptional lightfastness and matte finish make it ideal for archival quality work, users should note that the fast-drying nature of acrylics requires efficient planning during thick-application layering.

FAQs
Are these paints safe for archival use?
Yes, they feature high lightfastness ratings, making them suitable for professional artwork intended to last.
Can I mix these with other acrylic brands?
Pébéo Origin Acrylics are compatible with most standard acrylic mediums and other brands, though it is always recommended to perform a small test first.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Pébéo focuses on eco-design; check your local municipal guidelines for recycling aluminum-based tubes.
What surfaces can I paint on?
These paints work on any traditional acrylic-compatible surface, including stretched canvas, wood panels, paper, and primed cardboard.
Do I need to seal the painting after it dries?
While the paint is durable, applying an acrylic varnish can protect the surface from dust and UV damage.
Is this paint suitable for airbrushing?
Due to its high viscosity, it must be significantly thinned with an airbrush medium and water to flow through a nozzle without clogging.
Troubleshooting
Paint drying too fast on the palette
Use a stay-wet palette or lightly mist the paint with a fine water sprayer to extend workability.
Brush strokes flattening out
Apply the paint more thickly or mix in a heavy body acrylic medium to increase the body of the paint.
Brushes becoming stiff after cleaning
Ensure you are using brush soap and shaping the bristles before storage; do not let acrylic dry in the ferrule.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for a session, ensure your canvases are primed with a standard gesso to provide the ideal surface for the acrylic binder. Since the paint is high-viscosity, you may use it straight from the tube for maximum texture, or thin it with water for washes.
Cleanup: Because this is a water-based acrylic, all brushes and palette knives should be cleaned immediately with soap and water after use. If the paint dries on your tools, it becomes permanent. Store the tubes in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly secured to prevent the paint from curing within the tube.
