We love seeing what our creative community makes with our iconic Mont Marte Acrylic Colours. We thought we’d share this collection of ideas from talented artists all over the world, so you feel inspired to create with acrylic colours for your next project.

Acrylic painting sunset over water

Image: @_char.coal14 

Keep it classic and try painting a glowing sunset over calm water! This creator captures such a peaceful vibe with the smooth blending of warm oranges and cool blues. Using a palette knife will help add some texture and dimension to the painting – just have a go and experiment. Packed with vibrant colours and sweeping strokes, a sunset scene is always a great place to start.

Acrylic lemons

Bright, zesty, and full of life—this lemon-themed painting brings a splash of fun to the canvas. The sharp contrast of yellows and greens makes this piece stand out, but you can try swapping out the background for whatever colour you like! Acrylics dry nice and quickly so you can layer colours without long drying times.

Starry Night remake

This clever recreation of Starry Night takes Van Gogh’s timeless masterpiece and gives it a modern twist. By focusing on the moon, it gives you a chance to explore movement and feeling with short brushstrokes. Acrylic paints are ideal for layering strokes in this expressionistic way, as they dry quickly for separate layers or can be blended on the canvas while still wet.

Acrylic painting of ship

Set sail with this eye-catching acrylic painting of a ship on the water. The mix of pastel pink tones makes this awesome wall art for fans of pink – otherwise, pick a different sunset tone as your focus. Our pastel acrylic colours seem to melt together when blended on the canvas, so let the paintbrush lead you!

Acrylic paint colour chart

Get familiar with your acrylic colour set by making your own colour chart! Let’s face it, who doesn’t love seeing all the colours side by side? Keep the chart on hand when creating to get a quick idea of how your paints dry down to find the ideal colour match. Whether you’re swatching for fun or planning a big piece, colour charts are both practical and pretty.

Painting book pages

This unique idea turns book pages into canvases, adding layers of creativity to an already-inspiring base. You can keep the base painting fast and loose and then add details with a liner pen for a whimsical touch. If you’re after something a little different and want to upcycle a book, this project can be recreated in countless ways (just think how many books there are out there!).

Mini canvas sunset painting

Sometimes big impact comes in small sizes! This mini canvas sunset painting packs a lot of colour into a tiny space. The silhouette horizon line creates balance and is a strong focal point, so the artwork is striking no matter how small the canvas is. It’s a great project for anyone looking to practice blending and layering on a smaller scale.

Lemon painting on canvas

When life gives you lemons… paint them! We just couldn’t resist including this ultra-bright, summery design in our acrylic colour inspo – it seems to be bursting with colour. This design is ideal for both beginners and seasoned artists, just make the lemons and background as detailed as you like to suit your skill level.

Glass bottle acrylic painting

Turning simple objects into art never gets old. Transform and upcycle glass bottles by adding some paint on the outside! They make great vases and 3D artwork around the house, and the design possibilities are endless. What would you paint on a bottle?

Two ducks painting

These adorable artwork of two ducks brings is almost too cute (we can’t stop smiling!). The vibrant colours and sweet subject matter make it a great project for animal lovers or anyone wanting to practice stylised painting. You can even put your own spin on this idea by swapping out the ducks for a couple of your fave animals!

Acrylic paint swatches

Seeing colours laid out like this is so satisfying. Swatching gives you a full view of the range and possibilities that come with your paints, so don’t be afraid to just grab some scrap paper and paint a stroke of each colour. In this case, it’s a pastel dream, but you can swatch any and all paints you own to see how the shades look next to each other and how they dry down.

Candy land painting

Paint your way into a sweet and whimsical world with this candy land painting. The technicolour palette and fantasy vibes make this piece pure fun. If you’re looking for something imaginative and lighthearted, why not paint a picture of your own fantasy land, whether it’s made of candy or filled with flowers.
