Kaisercraft KAKC031 Acrylic Paint, Black

Like the rest of the brand, this black Karisercraft paint is a fluid acrylic. It's perfect for crafts and art journaling but not for paintings as the paint is not light-fast and will fade if exposed to light. Yet, it makes a great black tube to experiment with when I want to try new things that might sometimes end in the bin or recycled. I've used it on my gel plate and it worked nicely. Great price.

Kaisercraft KC035 Kaiser Colour Acrylic Paint, Eggshell

This an acrylic directed to crafters not painters, but I wish it had professional quality because this is one of my fav neutral colours ever. The colour is like a super-light neutral grey. I use it on its own, and I love it as it is or mixed with other neutrals. This is a flow acrylic, therefore low viscosity, and a bit liquid. I wish the brand specified this on the package. The price is amazing for a large amount of product. The tap is quite mediocre as it has no screw stop; also, it's too small to use it to keep the tube vertically. This being the case, the tube cannot be stored vertically but horizontally, which multiplies the chances of getting paint spilled. . For the rest a great product for the price.

Kaisercraft Kaiser Colour Acrylic Paint, Candy

This is a gorgeous colour and a decent acrylic glaze at a great price. It is not a paint per se as it is runny and body is fluid not medium or heavy. Average quality and a good amount of product for the price as well. I don't like the cap, as it too small to store the tube vertically, and, that being the case, it needs lots of storage space.

Kaisercraft Colour Acrylic Paint, Sage

I have many of these tubes. Needless to say, they aren't acrylic. They're cheap gouaches. However, the pigments are great and they are great value for money. Great for beginners on a budget. The sage colour is really pretty, especially when dry, but I have noticed that this tube is way runnier than other pigments. I've used this straight from the tube, without mixing it with water, and it has poor coverage and is really watery. Due to being water-based, the pigment dries lighter than the colour you get fresh from the tube.

Kaisercraft KAKC002 Kaiser Colour Acrylic Paint, Antique White

I'm a fan of these acrylic water-soluble brand and tubes. I consider this more a gouache than a proper acrylic, though. It is a great product for beginners at a very affordable price, and the tube it has a generous amount of paint in it. The paint is a bit more liquid than other similar acrylics I own and the hue changes a bit when dry.

This antique white colour is just beautiful on its own and perfect to mix with skin colour hues and get a more natural look. It is a white warm, not beige, but it has a hint of beige. Actually, if I had to give it a name that perfectly describes the colour, I would say 'vanilla', as it looks like the colour vanilla ice-cream usually has.

The thing I don't like about this tube is that the top cap and base are too small and thin, respectively, to hold the tube vertically, so I have to store this horizontally and, this being the case, it takes a lot of space.

Kaisercraft KAKC017 Colour Acrylic Paint, Navy Blue

I'm a fan of these Kaisercraft gouache/water-soluble acrylic paint tubes, as they're reasonably good for the price and have a decent quantity of product in them.

I usually find the name the brand gives to the colours accurate as it reflects the known colour or it rightly hints to what we can expect. However, in this case I find that the blue is not navy blue, it is too light for that. The thing is, on the exterior, it actually looks like navy-blue, but the paint itself does not, as per my swatches above. On the other hand, this blue is just wonderful and can be diluted to get lighter blue tones as per my photo above.

MIND

> Liquid body not medium or heavy body acrylic. Almost a glaze.
> This is a water-soluble acrylic. I read this as a gouache, which is OK with me.
> The colour changes considerably when dry, this is because of the water-soluble nature of it.
> The tube cannot be placed vertically due to the cap being tiny, so it has to be stored horizontally.

Kaisercraft Butterflies Texture Clear Stamp

This clear stamp is just lovely. It has three separate butterflies, meaning it is not a block with three items, but individual items. If you use a stamp block, the results are amazing. Great quality and it washes beautifully under fresh clear water. My only downside is that the butterflies are quite small and that the back sheet is a bit hard to separate from the stamp resin. Amazing quality for the price, as well.

Kaisercraft CS757 Sheet Music Texture Clear Stamp


Beautifully detailed, this stencil is easy to use and can be used with an array of art mediums (gouache, watercolor and ink.) This stamp is made of clear silicone, bass-relieved, so the end result is quite polished. Easy to clean even when used with solvent ink.
