Testimonials


"I have been reading and hearing about other folks using different brands and types of paints and their frustration as they have to go over and over the same area to get good coverage. After experiencing the frustration with other acrylic brands, I feel very spoiled to have all of Yvette’s paints in every color.  These paints glide across the page so easily and I can cover an area with just one coat. I am brand new at trying my hand at painting. I did some research and really loved what others had to say about Yvette's classes and particularly her paints. I feel that I am totally spoiled now because the paints I started out using are Yvette's paints. I have not used any other kind. So I was able to forgo the frustrations of other cheaper paints. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. I have every color of YSA Paint. I am so glad I found the best of the best right out of the gate!"

"When I started taking the courses, I loved the YSA Paints to begin with! My love for watercolor was an “eye opening” experience when I watched the “abstract landscape” videos. In those videos, Yvette showed how to fill my brush with water and create different washes of color with her paints! It was wonderful! I had no idea that I could use YSA acrylic paints like watercolor and now I have so many options with her beautiful paint shades! Thank you for all the education and delightful time spent learning a new creative way to express myself."

"I didn’t want to order the big bottles until I tried the small ones. I finally got those about a week ago and I absolutely LOVE the paint. My only regret is that I wish I had ordered it sooner. Cleared up so many frustrations I was having while using the other brands' paints! It’s even better than the Blick paints I got a couple of!"

"I have about 30 other brands colors but your YSA paints spoiled me and I don't want to paint with those other brands anymore! Thank you for all that you. It's so nice to find a community that does nothing but nurture. I love being a part of these amazing artist who inspire me everyday! Sincerely, THANK YOU!"

"I started one class using folk art paints and became frustrated with the coverage so I broke down and purchased Yvette's paints. The difference was night and day! They didn't dry fast like other acrylics and the coverage was very good.  (I don't paint as fast as Yvette) If you can afford them I highly recommend them."

"My art journey began with oil paints from which I transitioned to acrylic. I missed my oil paints until I found the ultra acrylics developed by artist Yvette St. Amant. Her acrylic paint line is superior in delivering a consistently smooth, fluid-like laydown, with extended dry time in a full body paint. This allows more blending opportunities which transitioning artists used to oils often miss. I have worked with several different acrylic brands ranging from beginner to professional grades. The opaqueness, coverage, and flexibility of use in the Yvette St. Amant line is most certainly superior. Her acrylics also easily adapt, by adding water, to use in watercolor techniques without losing valuable color laydown and retention. The creativity afforded in shade variation is also excellent. Yvette St. Amant acrylics have become my acrylic line of choice. I am so happy with this paint and color line, I have been confident enough to clear studio space by donating my collection of other brands. Liberating!"
