Amsterdam Acrylic Paint

Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylic Paint uses a 100% acrylic resin binder to create a flexible, stable film that holds its colour over time. The use of pure, non-fading pigments supports long-term colour retention, making it a dependable choice for studio work and display pieces.

This acrylic paint is suitable for a wide range of techniques, from smooth blending and layered applications to bold contemporary colour fields. It supports both traditional painting approaches and modern acrylic workflows without requiring specialty mediums to achieve durable results.

Compared to lower-grade acrylic paints, the Standard Series offers stronger lightfastness and a more resilient paint film. It’s a practical choice for artists who want reliable performance without moving into specialty or heavy-body professional-only lines.

For best results, pair with Explore compatible brushes and enhance working properties with Shop professional acrylic mediums.

Apply Amsterdam Standard Acrylic Paint to properly prepared surfaces suitable for acrylic painting. For wall painting projects, ensure surfaces are correctly primed, as the alkali-resistant film is designed to perform on stable substrates.

Allow each layer to dry fully before applying additional coats to build strong, stable colour layers. Clean brushes and tools promptly after use, as dried acrylic forms a durable film.

Canadian Winter Note: Acrylic paint should not be allowed to freeze. If your paint arrives cold during Ottawa winter shipping, let it acclimate to room temperature before opening to protect the integrity of the acrylic resin.
