About Stephen Quiller Professional Artists' Acrylic
This 92 color line, imported by Jack Richeson & Co., contains only the highest quality color pigments which have been selected for purity and lightfastness. Each color in the line has been formulated to achieve the maximum pigment concentration and color strength consistent with good handling properties and stability.
Because no fillers or extenders are used in Quiller Acrylics, most colors dry to a natural gloss while those with larger pigment particles create a more satin finish.
Quiller Acrylics have a smooth buttery texture that retains brush and knife marks, yet is not stiff or difficult to manipulate. They allow the user to create bold, crisp impasto effects normally associated only with oil colors.
Other features of this paint include:
- High solids: does not crack when in used in heavy impasto technique
- Very tight polymer chain
- Unlike other heavy bodied acrylics, Quiller acrylic does not sag in its natural state
- Greater open time
- Highly concentrated pigment load (a little paint goes a LONG way!)
- Greater pigment load means 25% less water than similar products
- No extenders or fillers (won't separate)
- Peaks like a heavy bodied acrylic, but spreads like a liquid acrylic
- Less odor, less ammonia smell
The labels on the tubes includes each color's complement in order for the painter to achieve beautiful semi neutrals and "grays". The labels also give the lightfast rating and pigment composition, which gives each artist valuable information for their palette selection.
A range of mediums formulated for Stephen Quiller Acrylics are also available at Wet Paint, as are two starter sets: a basic set and a preferred set.

A Statement by Stephen Quiller
"I have been a watermedia painter for more than 35 years. During this time I have been constantly experimenting and searching for paint that can help me best express.
"Stephen Quiller Acrylic Paints are simply the best. I can count on them to give me the color note, mark and paintability I need. This highly-concentrated, pigmented acrylic cannot be matched for brilliance of hue, coverage power and opacity. The high-viscosity paint is heavy-bodied and can hold a great deal of texture and detail or be thinned to rich and luminous transparent washes. The pigment’s unique poly-resin binder is made to hold the mark of a juicy brush stroke and will adhere to any non-oily support.
"The paint can be combined with any of the watermedia or collage and drawing media to make it a most versatile paint. The colors are selected to work with my color system.
"Listed on the back of each tube is each color’s complementary color, lightfast rating and chemical composition.
"There is not only a great selection of pure hue and earth colors but also a variety of metallic, interference paints and mediums for more experimental directions.
Give these paints a try and you will be amazed!" -- Stephen Quiller
