My favorite is Matchi's paints.

My favorite is match paint.

My first paintings were with pastels.

Then some time passed

I was attracted to the beautiful acrylic paints sold at art supply stores.

I started painting with acrylics on canvas about 30 years ago.

At that time, people who painted with acrylic on canvas

I think it was unusual.

In fact, I had never come across a solo exhibition of that style.

Perhaps that is why, at my solo exhibitions, people ask me things like, "The colors are so pretty! Why did you paint them like that?"

I was often asked this question.

Each time, I was told, "I use acrylic paint, which is still a new material.

However," he explained.

Nowadays, more and more people are becoming artists using acrylic paints.

If you look on Instagram, you'll see a lot of videos of people pouring acrylic paint onto canvas.

It will come.

There are many great things about acrylic painting.

Over the past few years, there's something that's been bothering me a bit.

When you wash your palette or brushes with tap water after use,

Acrylic paint is made of vinyl,

This means that we are essentially flushing plastic down the drain.

I wanted to use watercolor paints that suited me.

I tried products from various manufacturers.

While doing this, I came across Matchi paints.

I bought the standard set and tried it.

This is really good.

Somehow, it's very comfortable to use.

In addition to the clarity and vividness of the colors,

Why does some liquid not become cloudy when mixed?

It feels strange.

Read the store description

There was a good reason for this, so I'll explain it to you.

No harmful chemicals such as organophosphates or phenols, chemical solvents, toxic heavy metals or surfactants are used.

Odorless

The binder used is refined natural gum arabic from West Africa, which is also used in food and pharmaceuticals.

The pigments that give the colors they produce are ultrafine particles with uniform particle size and shape.

The light that hits the paint is less likely to be diffused, resulting in vivid colors.

The pigment particles are extremely small, so they dissolve easily in water and are highly concentrated.

The tube, cap, and outer bag are all made of the same resin.

No dioxins are produced when burned.

Wastewater from the factory is slowly filtered over a long period of time to carefully remove impurities and neutralize the water quality before being discharged.

Developed and manufactured domestically.

As expected from a Japanese manufacturing company, their technology and philosophy are excellent.

I bought it at Matchi, the palette in the photo.

This is also quite good and I like it.

Recently uploaded "Skyscape Watercolor"

I draw using Matchi's paints and a white pen that I recently found.

I thought this would definitely be great art supplies for children.

I'll put a link here.
