Create Textured Works of Art with New FolkArt HD

Amy Anderson
Decorative Painting

The latest trends in art for home décor reflect a mix of both classic and contemporary styles—the colors are warm and rich, the brush strokes are well defined, and the techniques are reminiscent of Old Masters such as Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Subject matter reflects nature through botanicals, florals, landscapes and still life. Mid to high end retail stores, catalogs and websites are showing artwork with high definition and detail, and are offering such pieces upwards of $175 for a 16’x20’ canvas. To recreate such works of art requires a significant time and monetary investment, and many artists are intimidated by the thought of using oil paint.

With new FolkArt® High Definition™ (HD) paint, you can create your own work of art at a fraction of the time and cost. This new acrylic paint line mimics the texture of oils, and dries to a semi-gloss sheen. Unlike oils, any spills can be cleaned up easily with water while still wet! The 38 vibrant, rich colors blend easily on a palette, and can be applied with a brush, a painting knife or the writer tip. Most importantly, FolkArt HD is suitable for painters at any skill level. No advanced skills are required! You are encouraged to use FolkArt HD on a variety of surfaces: canvas, wood, tin, metals and papier mâché are among the favorites. Just pick up your brush and let your imagine take hold—you will quickly find how easy it is to create stunning works of art!
