Placrylic™ is an artist paint

Placrylic™ behaves similar: acrylic paint

Placrylic™ is a plant paint that behaves similar to the acrylic paint used by artists, but unlike acrylic paints which are made of plastic (a microplastic), placrylic is plastic free, and when mixed with plant based pigments, produces a unique limited edition artist paint

I’m artist hana, like you I am an artist, I invented Placrylic™ in July 2020 during the pandemic, at first because I couldn’t stand the smell of artists paints, and after years of research, discovering how much acrylic paint contributes to bad health and climate problems

Artists and designers including Keith Coventry, Heather Dawn Batchelor, Sean Ward, JC Shadows, Katie Willes, Rebecca Klodt, Bex Wilkinson, Craig Marshall Smith and many more

Putting an end to toxic paint waste

• Artist Hana invented Placrylic which is a plastic free alternative to acrylic paints, safer and better for you and the environment. Acrylic titanium white is toxic to aquatic life. We are trying to put an end to toxic paint waste.

Nature Conservacy

• Placrylic supports the well thought out plant a billion trees mission, planting trees that are most needed where they are needed. In fact, all of the efforts of nature.org, are important to Artist Hana, who has been supporting their priorities for over a decade. Protecting Land and Water is the Nature Conservacy Priority artist hana is currently in alignment with.

Carbon Neutrality

• Every Year, we make a donation to the nature conservacy’s carbon footprint calculator priority, and ensure that artist hana stays carbon neutral, offsetting all carbon emissions.

Yes it does.

Placrylic can be used with acrylics.

For historical purposes, it would be better not to mix Placrylic with other paints, as it will be easier for an art restoration expert to preserve your artwork.

Yes, we recommend Liquitex, artist hana is working on creating the full colours artists need.
