For those who don’t know, the main difference between craft store paints and artist grade paints are: - ratio of pigment to binder (craft store paints have less pigment) - pigment quality (craft store paints are usually larger grain and may sometimes use unsafe pigments) - color purity and consistency (craft store paints may contain traces of unintended pigments and may vary between batches) - color variety (craft store paint manufacturers are NOT going to be paying extra for rare pigments) - lightfastness (craft store paints may fade quicker due to lack of UV protectant additives) - binder quality (craft store paints may use cheaper, more toxic binders) Otherwise they are the same stuff, it’s kinda hard to screw up mixing acrylic binder with a pigment. Check that your paint has the ACMI Approved Product seal. https://www.acmiart.org/acmi-seals https://www.acmiart.org/acmi-seals
