Interactive Acrylics Demo

This is a demonstration of Atelier Interactive Artists Acrylics which is made by an Australian company called Chroma. This is a new acrylic product that has different liquid additives for manipulating the paint. The paint does not dry as a plastic like regular acrylic. In fact in can be removed from a surface more easily. I recently attended a hands-on workshop of this paint. Since 1985, I've used their regular acrylic paint.

In recent years local art supply places have not stocked Atelier acrylic paints and I haven't seen them in catalogs. At this point I've used more Golden acrylics. Some local art supply stores are supposed to start carrying this new paint. Whereas I'm intrigued by all the possibilities with liquid additives, my money's all tied up in Golden acrylic now.

Interactive??? You're painting. It already is "Interactive".

OK, As a professional artist, my first concern would be the permanency of this stuff. I would be leary about paint that redisolves when you get it wet (if using it for purposes other than commercial uses).

This stuff stuff seems to be a combination of the already established mediums. Gouache - already a re-dissolveable water based paint
Oils - stays wet longer periods so you can continue to work it.
Water Colours - Water based paint you can re work.

I guess I just don't get the point. With that many ad-on products, I wonder if marketing isn't designing the product instead of actual artists.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned. Gesso for primer, acrylics for undercoats & washes and oils for the actual painting.

Ah, well...
