Explore YSA Paint

Extended Workable Time

Unlike traditional acrylics, YSA Paints are formulated with an extended drying time, giving you more freedom to blend, layer, and refine your work. This longer open time expands your creative possibilities, allowing for smoother transitions, richer depth, and more advanced techniques with ease.

Acrylic Wash Freedom

Experience the beauty of watercolor with the strength of acrylic. YSA Paints blend seamlessly with water without compromising pigment, giving you rich, vibrant color even in the lightest washes. This allows you to paint loose, fluid, and expressive, without sacrificing quality.

Bold Opaque Coverage

Our high-performance acrylics are loaded with intense, opaque pigment for powerful one-coat coverage. With a smooth, thick consistency and full-bodied feel, these paints give you rich color payoff and effortless application every time. Premium quality you can see, feel, and trust.

  • Artist Crafted

    Created with a deep understanding of how artists want paint to behave, this formula was designed from the ground up. Every element was considered to support the way paint moves, blends, and builds on the canvas. The result is a uniquely balanced formula that isn’t found in traditional acrylics. It’s paint that works the way you’ve always wanted it to.

  • Quality Produced

    Carefully produced with a focus on consistency and attention to detail, each batch is designed to deliver reliable color, smooth texture, and consistent performance. The result is a paint you can trust every time you sit down to create.

  • Female Founded

    Built by women deeply immersed in the art world, YSA Paint is grounded in a real understanding of the creative experience. Creating should feel welcoming, not intimidating or frustrating. Every detail is shaped with intention, from the formula to the experience of using it. It’s a perspective that brings both care and clarity to everything we make.

Meet the artists behind YSA

YSA Paint was created by Yvette St. Amant, a professional artist and licensing designer, and Dee, a self taught artist and entrepreneur. Through years of working with artists and students, they saw how many people slowly drift away from the joy of creating.

They set out to develop a paint that removes the small frustrations and helps artists fall back in love with painting again.
