TESTED: Chroma Atelier A2 Acrylic Paint (Is It Worth It?)

We're back! Let's kick this off with an acrylic paint review. Today I'm testing the A2 acrylic paint by Chroma. This heavy body paint is a "top of the range" acrylic before hitting expensive artist-quality paints. Does it blend? Does it feel good to use? Let's find out.

Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!
I've been away for a long time because running a school is stressful. But I've done a bunch of bookings and prep, and now I can get back into making art tutorials for you. Today, I'm testing the A2 acrylic paint range from Atelier. This is kind of "the best" acrylic paint for students you can get before tipping the scales into purely artist-quality paints.
A2 paints come in a range of sizes and colours. The most common I've seen are the 120ml tubes (4 Fl Oz). But they also have a limited range of colours in 1 litre bottles, and in their tiny 20ml tube set. I've also seen online that you can get tubs of this paint too, but I haven't seen that in the stores (which is why I didn't mention it!)
The 12 tube set cost $25.80, which I think is decent value, although the downside of these kinds of sets is that you're always going to be using specific colours more than others. So I'd recommend perhaps buying additional tubes of something like white if you're keen on this set.
See what you think about these paints, and if this would be one you'd like to buy and try for yourself! I'll be using these for future videos so please subscribe to stay in the loop.

I love Chroma A2. They are very easy to work with and the color tones rival professional colors in many ways. They are affordable and worth your time. They are my favorites. I wish they had Prussian blue and Van Dyke Brown though.

Thanks for the review - we think A2 is pretty great too! Atelier A2 is readily available in the US at art stores and online.
