Chroma Atelier A2 Acrylic Paint Review: Is It Worth It?
If you’re looking for a reliable acrylic paint that doesn’t break the bank (but still gives you great results) you’ll want to check out this review of the A2 acrylic paints by Chroma Atelier. In this YouTube video, we put these popular student-grade acrylic paints to the test and share whether it’s worth adding to your art kit.
What Makes A2 Acrylic Paint Stand Out?
A2 is considered the “top of the range” acrylic paint before you move into high-end, artist-quality paints. It’s heavy-bodied, making it ideal for students or intermediate painters who want a paint that can handle blending, layering, and texturing without the steep price of professional-grade options.
In this review, Jess tests some important features that all acrylic painters look for:
- Smoothness: How well does the paint glide across the canvas?
- Blending: Does it blend easily or dry too quickly?
- Transparency: Can it be used for glazing and layering?
- Mixing Colours: How well do the primary colours mix to create secondary colours?
The A2 acrylic paint comes in different sizes, with the 120ml tubes being the most common. We also found it in smaller 20ml tube sets and even 1 litre bottles for some colours. However, if you’re working on larger projects, it’s worth noting that you might run out of specific colours (like white) faster than others, so consider buying extra tubes if you plan to use this set extensively.
See what you think about these paints, and if this would be one you’d like to buy and try for yourself!
