Placrylic™ is a new paint medium for artists and designers
English Painter and Chemist, artist hana, invented Placrylic™ in July 2020 during the pandemic, at first because she couldn’t stand the smell of artists paints, and after years of research, discovering how much acrylic and oil paints contribute to bad health and ocean climate problems.
About Placrylic
In 2020, English Painter and Chemist, artist hana invented the brand-new medium placrylic for artists, that addresses the climate and health concerns modern artists are worried about
Placrylic™ is a plant paint that behaves similar to the acrylic paint used by artists and designers, unlike acrylic paints which are made of plastic (a microthermoplastic), placrylic is plastic free, and when mixed with plant based pigments, produces a unique new artist paint medium and the great thing about placrylic is that you can mix it with other paints including acrylic
Placrylic™ also behaves like traditional oil paint in that artists can work in layers. However, unlike oil paint, which typical requires titanium white paint and has a negative impact on ocean chemistry when washed down the drain, placrylic is 100% titanium free, marine friendly, and safe for use by artists
January 2024, Placrylic is now used by thousands of artists from twelve countries including the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Israel, Nigeria, South Korea, Sweden and Belgium
Placrylic is a fast-drying paint made entirely of plants
