NEW PA Products {Feb 2016} Fresco Chalk Acrylic Paints

Hi Everyone, 

Leandra here with some amazing new Fresco Chalk Acrylic Paints to show you! This is our final day of new releases, although we have kept some new products back for later in the month when we exhibit at the ICHF 'Stitches' trade show Feb 21-23, NEC. SO there is more to come very soon!

Tonight it's all about Fresco Paints. This year we decided to make space for 24 new Paints, but as we have discontinued 5, there are actually 29 changes to report....you'll need to concentrate.....

There are 10 BRAND NEW COLOURS, 8 are chalk paints....most of these all fit within families of 4, excpet coral which goes into the 'randoms' camp....

(check out the colour chart at the foot of this post to see where they fit)

And we realised that we just HAD to have some more metallic shades, so White Fire (very like the White Fire Treasure Gold), and Copper were invited to the party. They make nice buddies for Gold and Pewter!

So we have brought back a number of favourite limited edition paints....you know the ones, Caribbean Sea, Bougainvillea...15 of them !! Some of these go into the 'randoms' category, but a few fit into the re-jigged families...

  

We also brought back a couple of discontinued paints: Very Berry and Baltic Blue, and Limelight is now a 'random' too. You will see how they all fit together soon in the chart below....

We had a few casualties too that are now discontinued, so we wave a fond farewell to: Vintage Lace, Blood Orange, Green Olives, Holly, Spanish Mulberry...

 

So here is the new paint chart which we have been shipping out to retailers the last few weeks, and moving forward, as usual, we will send these out in all of our online retail orders via www.paperartsy.co.uk .You can also pick them up from us at the shows we attend in 2016.

OR, you can download a copy at this link. 

Perhaps its just easier to watch the video to see what is new....

All of these paints are available to order NOW from our stockists.
