I've been thinking about trying the Nova Color paints, and this video is really helpful. I also love how you use so many colors and layering in your portraits!
Critical information on open working time, viscosity - and the logical testing before render practice. I'm a renderer - blender - maybe ironically using acrylic. So I like longer working time when doing figures, but I like faster drying when doing landscape. Do the info provided - excellent 👍
I’ve been thinking of investing in these paints, but, wondered about the quality (tired of poor paint), and your demo. sold me. Looking forward to working with them! Thank you!
Hi I am Detour! before I make my purchase, I was wondering if you could please answer some more questions? 🌺 1.) Did you notice a Significant color shift after they dried? (Just bought a professional brand paint- all colors did this, much to my dismay) 2.) Have you used the gesso or any mediums from Nova color? What was your experience? 3.) Have you tried mixing them? How did that turn out? Unfortunately, I can’t find pigment detail for any colors on the website, so I’m not sure how they’d mix up. There’s nothing worse than getting paint with too many fillers or pigment blends, for clean mixes. Just trying to get more insight to these products- I’d like to make one big purchase before I have to pay for shipping to NY, many times. Ugh. If you could provide any personal experience beyond what you demonstrated, I would be most grateful. Thank you in advance…😊🌺
I believe all acrylics have a slight color shift as they dry, as acrylic emulsion (medium) has a milky appearance when wet, but becomes transparent when dry.
@@3243_ I actually did make a big purchase, & I’m quite pleased with the quality! Not as much of a color shift when they dried, as the other brand I bought. Very happy about that too. Thank you for your reply…😊🌺
Beautiful work!!! I LOVE your usage of COLORS for skin tones that are totally outside the box!! Do you offer any courses for doing this? I’m learning about layering and cool and warm tones to create movement and depth using oils. Wondering if I can do something similar with these Nova paints??
Thanks for this review. Just bought some of the 4oz. jars to try them out. Really looking for a cad red deep (dark) to replace the very expensive Lascoux paint I love. Great color choices on your demo!
Excellent demo - thank you. Good to know it's a little on the slow-dri side. I live in a very dry climate. How would you compare it to Liquitex Basics which I find too transparent in all single pigment colours. Have hesitated ordering Nova due to the shipping to Canada but the price point is better than any of our lower cost lines. Thanks for your help and I admire your talent.
Thank you so much for sharing this demo and your thoughts. I think you said you've tried Nova Gesso and I was wondering if it has a strong odor? I'm pretty sensitive to odors and chemical and I can't use Liquitex clear or white gesso, for example. If you have any of Nova's mediums, I'd appreciate any info about their smell, too. Thanks so much!
Thanks! I noticed that over time when was using fluorescent in street art. The protective coating helps to stretch out the time it's bright but they always seem to fade over time. 😞 Hopefully a paint company will eventually create one that last a lot longer
I like golden BUT it dries so fast (and as I like blending whole painting) it becomes a problem, would you say that this (as you said dries slower) will be good for blending on an outdoor mural?, also what is the falsification coverage per gallon?
How long minutes wise would you say the dry time was? Did you use any retarder? Also, did the dry paint shift much from its wet form (saturation of the color)?
Beautiful work! Thank you for the demo and review.

Thanks a million!!!
much love and respect to you and your channel. I hope that all is well for you and your family and friends.
I appreciate that
This brand is definitely on my list, glad you liked them.
It’s pretty good.

As for Nova Color's quality, you need not worry. It and Golden Acrylics are by far the best quality acrylics.

Thanks for the demo, Detour! Loved seeing your process, and I'm glad to know about the paints.
Glad you get to see the process of the piece coming together.
Really great demo, thanks for the detailed overview of Nova Color paints. I think I'll give them a try
Thanks a million!!!

Excellent - I just got the small set for Christmas and wanted to try . Very useful.
Great demo - appreciate the review information and watching you paint - thanks!
My pleasure!

Thanks for the video... I bought some I don't really care for the translucency. But they do have good pigment.
I love nova if you are working on small things its almost like oils
That’s is why I got small set - I read that artists love that paint.
Great demo! I have heard of Novacolor and was wondering about them. This video was super helpful. I love your work too!
Great info and wonderful demo. Thanks
Thanks!
Just found you. LOVE your work that I've seen thus far.
Welcome aboard!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!

no problem. It does not have an odor that i could smell
I loved your demo. Please be aware that the florescent colors are not permanent. all of the rest are.
Thanks! I noticed that over time when was using fluorescent in street art. The protective coating helps to stretch out the time it's bright but they always seem to fade over time. 😞 Hopefully a paint company will eventually create one that last a lot longer
QUESTION : I only have the small set. Can I use on the same canvas Nova and Golden …
By the way, nice painting, man. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!

i would say 5-15 minutes depending on the amount you load onto the canvas
Awesome
Thanks!!!
Thank you very helpful
Glad it helped
if you use on fabrics, do you have to add a softener to the paints...
i think you just need to prep the fabric to receive the paint. something like a fabric primer.
What is the dark reddish brown?
probably "Burnt Sienna".
Is there any issue as far as odor?
It has UV protection but it's not formulated for outdoor use.
here is a video i did about the best paint to use. th-cam.com/video/diQLT9NiyGs/w-d-xo.html
what is the turn around time? I ordered them to give it a try on christmas windows last month. Didn't receive them yet.
Hmmm. Not sure on that question. Usually they are good when it comes to shipping.
How can I buy this color paste in China
You can probably just order through the website. novacolorpaint.com/
Nova Color is gourmet acrylic paint.
they sure are.
I enjoy nova color but its weird mix between soft body and heavy body. But they are super cheap for the price.
I haven’t tried any of the heavy body paints that they have yet
Cheap only in price. Top of the line in quality.
I hope that all is well for everyone reading this comment.
Ufff 🔥🔥🔥
thx
I love Nova. But they are kinda pricey. Well worth the money
They have been pretty good thus far. Im going to do a review vid on my Golden mural paints once they come in.
