Professional acrylic colours, water-resistant and lightfast. Equivalent to most professional grades of paint but much more affordable

Derivan Acrylic is a professional range of acrylic colours designed to be water-resistant and lightfast. Derivan Artist is equivalent in colour strength and permanency to most professional grades of paint but is much more affordable.

Although Derivan Acrylic is a single price across the range, the 24 colours available cover the full spectrum demanded by artists. Derivan acrylic can be used in combination with the Derivan Painting Mediums range or, for a wider choice of mediums, the Matisse Medium range. Derivan Artist will give equally fantastic results used as a thick impasto paint or with the use of water and mediums as a watercolour, screen printing ink on paper, airbrushing or fabric paint.

ASTM Lightfastness

Derivan Arylic pigments are all rated either ASTM 1 or 2 which means they are permanent.

Health and Safety
Derivan Artist is a non-toxic water-based acrylic paint that carries the certification seal of the US based Arts and Craft Materials Institute as safe for use by Artists (AP Label).
