Mont Marte acrylic paint for pouring. Worth it in the US?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- How does the Australian based paint Mont Marte work with acrylic pouring? Quite well if I do say so myself.
Initially I said "My only gripes are the lack of information on the lightfastness of their signature acrylic paint and that I can't buy individual colors where I at in the US." However, after conversing with Mont Marte customer service they sent me all of their info for the signature series of paint. All but two of the colors are Lightfast rating of 3* (the other two are 2*) which is equivalent to the best ASTM Lightfastness rating. This makes Mont Marte one of the best bulk/student level acrylics in that regard.
One of my viewers pointed out you can buy individual colors in the 2L size on Amazon which ends up being about $.35 / ounce as of the date of this comment. Not sure how I missed that but here is the link (affiliate) www.amazon.com...

Thank you so much for the mention David, awesome experiment, I started using mont marte because it was a middle range quality paint and I’m all for having a reasonable price product for my viewers to learn and become advanced with.
I’m currently not using mont marte so much, I’m using Global impasto paints all made here in Australia and will be shipping world wide I’m told 😁 mont marte paints are made in China and sold and shipped worldwide I believe.
I always had trouble getting support as an artist from mont marte direct but always had great support from our AU online supplier.
You mentioned the white paint, I have had trouble with many brands of white paint cracks and fluctuations.
I will post this link for my viewers to help them decide, as always great video David with very valuable information for all budding artists 🤩🤗
Thanks Gilly. Always have to give credit where it is due. I'll have to try Global. When I started buying my paints it wasn't available at a reasonable price here in the states.
so do you find the Global white to be the best white paint?
I am in Canada and found these in Walmart. I found a metallic set, they were 30ml each and a pretty good price. I wasn't expecting much but when I tried them, there are really nice! I love them. Nice variety of colours all the way from white to black!
Thanks for the info Joey.
Your tests are very helpful.
Glad to hear that Marjorie. Thanks for watching.
THIS IS SOO WEIRD! I'm in South Africa. We don't have the variety you Americans have (yes I'm slightly jealous) and quality art supplies are very expensive here. However, we got the whole load of Mont Marte. The bottles look nothing like the ones you have. And you can buy any color or medium separately. Even for pouring, we have every color, including metallic, ready to pour, no measuring, no mixing, no adding anything, and already the right consistency. Love your channel 💗
Mont Marte is great for pouring. People like Gilly Kube and Pouring Your Heart Out use that almost exclusively (from Australia).
Thanks for sharing this!😀
My pleasure! Glad to help.
Ty. Was going to buy. Think I will stay with what I'm using
I'll definitely keep using this paint. I might mix in a white from Blick or Amsterdam though.
Thanks for all the information
My pleasure Melan.
When a video popped up from you I had to check I hadn't slept through to Saturday ;-). Another useful video and I really like the result of the pour. Good to see you gloveless too cos that means you've healed. Thanks so much for the extra post.
I've definitely healed enough to not get paint in the wound. Will be a few more weeks before I play basketball again.
Thanks David - amazing! You manage to answer my questions before I’ve asked! Happy New Year! xx
Completely on accident Fran but I am glad it worked out for me. 8)
Just received a set of the bottles from my friend, so this is perfect timing.
Great to hear! Enjoy your pouring TeriAnn.
I always get great results when using Amsterdam White, so will use that instead.
I did a Black & White pour this morning using this brand and you are correct, the white was awful. It did give a really cool design of tree and tree branches so after it dries, I'll embellish to bring out the tree.
Thanks for sharing this great information 👍
I use these. I absolutely love them. And they're a little less expensive than some of the other popular ones. I don't buy and premixed pouring paints. I just don't like them. I prefer to make my own and it's cheaper and last longer.
I agree Amanda. Especially with how much I experiment. I need to do a head to head test with white and all of these one day too.
Thanks Amy.
Great info on determining the density of paints while layering. I so appreciate all the background work you do for us!
Your are welcome Emily. Those are the little things I wished someone would have explained to me earlier while learning.
I like how the painting turn out. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks Noemi.
Great colors. Twice a week now. Yay! Thank you David.☮️💖🎶
You are so welcome. We'll see how long I can keep it up.
Thank you David for another great comparison 👍👏
Always a pleasure. So interesting how all the paints are different.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with these paints, appreciate it!
Always a pleasure Pam.
Monte mart is my choice in the Philippines and can buy single colors from 300ml to 2 liters. Just had to stop painting here since typhoon odette blew through. We took a direct hit an no power for the last 5 weeks. When electric is back I will be painting again. Keep up the good work.
Good luck Ken. Keep safe.
Thanks again for doing another comparison. I follow both of the artists you mentioned, Gilly Kube was the first, since I wanted to do a glue/water medium when I first started, just in case I didn't like doing this, I can always use glue if I didn't. I still do sometimes use the glue/water medium but also American floetrol. I can't remember what question I had googled when it brought up your channel and I subscribed the same day. I always mention you in groups that will ask a question.
Aw, that is so nice Mary. Always glad to help.
I recently bought the signature Monte marte pack from Amazon and found much the same as you (creamy,fast mixing, etc.) And did a straight pour on a 11"×14" and the results were one of my best paintings so far. I like it much more than the meeden I started with (much harder to mix thoroughly as it is thicker, but not as smooth and creamy as Monte mart).
That is what I used for my painting in this morning's video. White is really my only issue with these.
Now you got me, lol. I swore last week I wouldn’t buy any colors anymore and use what I have, but I had a look at Amazon and the gold from Montmarte looks great. So….. 😅
I never would have had the idea of a combo like you did but I love it, so I am going to try it, as red is one of my favorite color.
Thanks for all your videos, it’s a great help for everyone
I live in Belgium, and here we find it all separately 😉
I definitely don't "see" good color combos like a other more traditional artists. I usually go off of color palettes, what others have done, or I just make stuff up.
Another great public service, David. I use these paints, but you're right, the color selection is limited. Once I'm out I'l be switching to other brand. Some I've never used, like brown. See you soon, keep up the good work.
Thanks Marina. I do see you can choose from over 40 colors online. You have to buy the bigger containers 2L (which is my preference).
I like it. Your right the red is really pretty. It’s to bad that the white didn’t hold up. Thanks for the review.
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for the review! Any way you could show the dried results when you do these tests because I know that once these paintings dry they do sometimes look extremely different. I'm curious how much that red takes over is all.
Absolutely Billie Dean. Trying to do that in the community tab if they aren't dry by the time the video comes out.
i have been useing mont marte paint since i started pour painting .as i live in australia gilly kube got me started on it . she does some beautiful work with this paint .i buy it because it is not the cheapest or the most expencive,to buy the big brand paints here in australia is very expencive.thank you for your video.
Glad to hear it is working for you Shirljoan.
Thank you. I wondered about this brand and it is too expensivd.. I love Gilly Kube...
You are so welcome! Gilly is amazing for sure.
I love this paint ! I have some metallics and they are awesome. The small starter pack is a really great option.
I have been told that a few times now. I guess I have to take ya'lls good advice.
And a suggestion for your unused paint ; I make sure it’s safe (not Goldens) for children and donate to my local Boys and Girls Club. They always need supplies.
@@shelley9652 Love this idea.
Hi again Great info,that's all I use is mont marte but I mix up mine with Elmer's school glue and sometimes flo but the glue works great.
Excellent. Love to hear things working for people.
Well I’m enjoying that you’re trying all these different paints this way I don’t have to but I’m not a fan of this somehow or you were able to keep the red somewhat red I still see a lot of orange in there but I probably would take a paintbrush of white and see what’s underneath see if I can grab some white under and I think I will use the torch more it makes it a little bit more interesting it just looks like one of those plants on the door say that you don’t want to get near thanks A lot for the experiment and suggestion
Thanks for watching Jean. I need to adjust my camera color a bit. It isn't quite what I see and those reds were definitely more red in person.
Def interesting. Have been curious about this brand. Now I don’t have to try it!! Thanks.
You are so welcome Tytramom.
I bought the 24 set of signature MM paints & got amazing results mixing colors pretty much equally. Maybe it was my medium (a mix of elmer's glue all, floetrol & liquitex , but they are vivid & true to the colors I was looking for. I will buy again. Just my 2 cents & experience.
Awesome. That is totally the feedback I love to see. Thanks Hippydippy
Thank you for this, Because I use this, Because I am still in the practice mode of this art. When I feel it's time to start selling that's when I will upgrade my paint!! But I do honestly think its quite good.
It totally is good. Just not quite the best.
Bit by bit if you have a Michael's near you, get a member rewards card, and take advantage of their 40% off deals, and 20% off every regular-priced product. I have fallen in love with Golden Paints. I buy the 'pretty colors' for accents, gold fine, green gold, deep maroon. A little bit of them goes a long way.
@@emilyflotilla931 Amen to this. Paynes gray and magenta are my two current favorites.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Just got their Paynes Gray! A big bottle at 40% off!
fyi, you can 1/2 gallons on amazon pretty cheap, they have about 30 colors
Thanks Jim. I just added a note about that to my top comment.
Interesting. I've never seen this brand before. The pour came out great though, like to see how it dried. I don't use much student level acrylic but thanks to you I'm trying more.
This is the brands that Pouring Your Heart Out and many other Aussie artist's use. This along with Global.
I do watch some pouring your heart out and I love her work. I did a search after watching the video and found Amazon seems to carry a much better selection now than they did when you put out this video. I'm lucky to have many art supply options locally so I don't shop Amazon unless I have to. Whats global?
@@vegasmainiac7745 globalcolours.com/ This is the website for their paints. I have not neen them widely available in the US.
Thanks for the review, super helpful :)
Thanks for watching! Always glad to help.
Thanks David for another informative paint review. I can’t tell you how helpful this is for me. I follow Gilly Kube and Pouring Your Heart Out and was wondering if it’s the Mont Marte that makes the difference. Looks like Nope. I just have to keep working on my consistency!
That is pretty much my bane Jacalyn. I take more time on getting the right consistency than anything else in pouring.
I just found a lot of Mont Marte Dimension colors that are sold separately on Amazon. They are $9.99 for a 5.3 oz tube. I would like to try a few if their products...the colors are beautiful. What I don't know is if this would work for fluid art. Your thoughts?
BTW I love your channel and refer back to it frequently. Thank you for providing information in a way that is so detailed, yet understandable.
I think the dimensional are great but are just way too expensive when you can get the signature for 1/2 or less the price per ounce.
Thanks David for this test. I have used Mont Marte in the 1/2 gallon jugs (Amazon USA does have them individually) and do love the paint. Have you ever done a test on Creative Inspirations paints?
I have been using the 1/2 gallon bottles as well, for quite some time, and love the ability to buy larger sizes of the color I need!
I did a few weeks ago - ruclips.net/video/b_7mQMuuH5U/видео.html
@@LeftBrainedArtist thanks!!!
@@breannspencer8007 I love that reason too but them I have tendency to "hoard" paint 😉🤣🤣
@@DorisAtDFDesigns I prefer the term "dedicated collector" 🤣🤣
I love the Mont Marte paints, you can get individual colors on amazon in the US. as well as the kits.
Thanks Rachel. A few good people like you have let me know. Love this community.
Thanks again for sharing the info. I was thinking about getting some of those because several artist used them. I’m not so sure now, however, if they are inexpensive you could use them as your pillow when you paint when it’s not going to show anyway. I am curious about dried results and how well it holds up after varnish or resin.
You have to compare them against what you are using now. I'd put these on part with most of the ones I have reviewed so far.
I wonder if you have ever tried NicPro pouring paints? As a beginner, I bought their starter kit which had everything thing I need. I think I’m happy with the paint, but would love to know your thoughts. One thing is that in the kit, they send you ready to pour paint and medium, and the instructions tell you how much medium to use but that is wrong. That would be for paints not ready to pour. So if I hadn’t watched your consistency video, I would have had a mess! 😂
Nope, I haven't even heard of those. I will have to look them up.
Thank you.. I always come away with a better feel and understanding for the basics of pour paint. You mentioned the varying degrees of quality between craft, student and professional level paints. Do you have a video that compares the three levels, side by side, along with what they look like dry as well as wet ? Wet is always so vivid and when dry not so vivid for obvious reasons of sheen, but does the quality of the levels show up when dried ?
Yeah, it does. This video has some of what you are looking for - ruclips.net/video/JGlo0xBUDns/видео.html
What torch is easy to light? I have arthritic fingers. Thanks for your scientific methods. It helps
Hmm, the one I have is pretty easy but you do have to "click" the back. I assume turning something would be easier than pushing something in?
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thanks for replying. The one I bought I have to pull down something, then click...and it didn't work....even with all that. 1 click will be ok...as long as it is a one click. Thanks for your ideas. Also, I am going thru your lessons. I keep seeing 1 part paint-3parts floetrol....or sometimes 1 part paint - 4 parts flo. And then just use a few drops of water. do you cover the differences in one of your videos? I loved the tests for the mounding, and then the crease, and the stick on top....great!!! also, to wipe the stick and sides!
Amazon has the big bottles of Monte Mart paint that can be bought individually.
Ooh, they totally do. Not sure how I missed that. I saw black and white and gold but not a way to choose. Thanks Jane. I'll add that to my notes. Looks like they are around $.35 / ounce in bulk.
Love your tutorials. I’m so confused. I’m a newbie and can’t find info on base paint. Do I add anything ,Floetrol, to base paint ??? TYIA
Base coat of paint should be the exact same paint/medium mixture you are using for the rest of your colors. There are a few exceptions to this. "Pillow" paint for use in the SheleeArt bloom technique that is different and a few techniques like the cloud pour that Sarah Taylor uses that is a little different.
Hi David - thank you so much for this video - again have some new Monte Marte paints, got the PM as well. Have you tried the metallics by MM? Just curious if they had a different reaction - thanks again for all you do
I haven't tried the metallics yet. It is on my list though.
I use the Mont Mart paints. Thank you for the information. I get mine from Hobby Lobby. You can order the colors you want individually. I order them from the company online.
Hmm, I don't see Mont Marte as a choice for paint at hobbylobby.com. Can you send me a link? I could just be having a senior moment.
@@LeftBrainedArtist I am the one who is having the senior moment. I told you wrong. I got them off Amazon, I am so sorry. I do order some of my paints from Hobby Lobby. I got a bit mixed up.
The paint I ordered from Hobby Lobby does not work as well as the Mont Marte paint. Thank you
@@rebeccahyatt7789 Haha. No problem at all.
@@LeftBrainedArtist 🤣
One of my views pointed out you can buy individual colors in the 2L size on Amazon which ends up being about $.35 / ounce as of the date of this comment. Not sure how I missed that but here is the link (affiliate) www.amazon.com/dp/B00XC8VLNC/
I was thinking of buying these paints. I am a bit confused though. I can see Mont Marte studio acrylic paints and Mont Marte signature acrylic paints. What's the difference between the two?
One more question, if I am using Amsterdam paints for a pour can I use Liquitex basics white colour as my base in the same painting?
I haven't worked with the studio but I would assume that the signature is the "student" level acrylic and the "studio" is the artists/professional acrylic.
Yes you can use liquitex white with amsterdam paints.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Okay. Thanks a bunch :)
Have you ever tried meedeen acrylic paint
I have not and I don't have any to try. I'll look in to it though.
Send me the link i could ues the box.
The box of paint?

Does anyone know how to keep your paintings from cracking?
Depends on what is causing it. Most times this is low quality white paint, paint is too thick on the painting surface, or there is a draft or air blowing on the drying painting making the top layer dry way before the bottom. leftbrainedartist.com/why-is-my-acrylic-pour-cracking/
@@LeftBrainedArtist thank you for replying. I just did my first piece thanks to you! I watched the video where you said I KNOW YOUVE BEEN WATCHING RUclipsS SO JUST DO IT. LOL. or something like that.
How long does it take them to dry? And where's the best place to lay them dry? I have so many questions 😃
Any other artists in Australia, I buy my mont marte from the cheap store, Dollar and Sense great prices
. . . I wish. Not possible here in Salt Lake where I am. For now at least.
🤭 oops, wrong class. I'm new.
lol
Put the last one next to the cup with the glue Cup two and you’ll see how close those two colors are together they’re almost exactly… The problem with one FLOOD is that you lose your True color you lose the true color of what you’re trying to accomplish
