Tips on really good colors to paint with

This post contains advertising links*

Finding colors that really feel right can take time, even for an artist like me who has been painting for over five decades. That's why I want to share a real gem with you that has quickly become a big favorite in my studio.

When I first tried these colors, it was completely without collaboration, just pure curiosity. But I was so impressed by how they felt to work with that I now also have a collaboration with them. And it feels so fun to be able to pass on tips to you who also love to create!

My favorites from Målarfabriken

I love how the paints from Målarfabriken behave on the canvas, they have such a good consistency, pigment richness and feel. Their heavy body gel reminds me a lot of working with oil paints. It is slightly thicker in consistency, which makes it easy to build structure and life in the painting.

👉 You can see an example of how I work with colors on my Instagram account @ateljesusannearvidsson .

Create exciting structure in your painting

During the fall and winter, I will show more examples of how I use their Base Layer and Crackle Paste to create exciting textures and crackle effects in the paintings.

I will also be working more with their Aqrylic paints, a completely different category that is somewhere between acrylic, oil and watercolor. It is a material that really invites playful creation and is perfect if you want to combine different techniques and build up several layers in your painting .
