Acrylic paint is a 20th century innovation: artists of the industrial revolution were looking for a more docile and quicker drying material. In his factory, Mr. Bourgeois developed acrylic and vinyl paints, thus offering more spontaneity to painters. Acrylic paint is one of the revolutions that have marked the history of modern art thanks to its potential for material-emotion.

Lefranc Bourgeois Fine Acrylic is a paint composed of pigments and synthetic resins appreciated for its quick drying. Used both indoors and outdoors, it offers freedom of movement and allows the artist to follow his creative instinct. Acrylic is the paint of spontaneous expression!

 

Infinite creation

Lefranc Bourgeois makes it a point of honour to produce paints and additives hand in hand with the best specialists in the field: painters, chemists and professionals. By developing a range of additives for acrylic paint, Lefranc Bourgeois allows painters to transform each shade into a colour-matter, through a multitude of effects, textures, plays of light and depth. The tint becomes a modular and multiform material that meets the needs and techniques of artists.

Create infinitely with acrylic additives

 

What is mixed media?

Acrylic paint is a modern material, which gives free rein to painters' desires. It offers the possibility of creating so-called "mixed media" works where several materials come into play, such as ink, Flashe vinyl paint, alcohol markers, etc.

Because acrylic colours are miscible and have a covering power, add luminosity, transparency and play of matter.
