Celebrate Mardi Gras with Color at The Art Store!

Mardi Gras is here, and at The Art Store, we’re diving into the spirit of this lively celebration with vibrant colors and fabulous deals on art supplies to match the festivity! Whether you’re creating your own Mardi Gras mask or adding a colorful splash to a painting, it’s the perfect time to experiment with bold hues and unique textures. This year, why not step outside the typical color palette and work with some truly unusual colors to capture the joyful, energetic vibe of Mardi Gras?

Dare to Go Bold with Sennelier Abstract Acrylics

First up, we’re thrilled to offer amazing discounts on Sennelier Abstract Acrylics. These high-quality paints are packed with intense, juicy colors that will bring explosive vibrancy to your work. Think bold yellows, radiant oranges, and electric blues—the kinds of colors that pop like the floats in a Mardi Gras parade! Their creamy consistency and rich pigment make them perfect for layering on thick, textured surfaces or fluid pours.

For Mardi Gras, let the bold, intense shades of Sennelier Abstract Acrylics inspire you to push boundaries and create something that truly represents the exuberance of this colorful celebration. Think about mixing a bold purple with a sparkling gold, creating contrasts that feel as dynamic as the costumes and beads that fill the streets during this festive time.

Shimmering Lumiere Acrylic by Jacquard

Next, we have Lumiere Acrylics by Jacquard. These paints are perfect if you’re looking to add some metallic magic to your Mardi Gras projects. The shimmering and reflective qualities of Lumiere make it an excellent choice for creating eye-catching Mardi Gras masks, which are a central part of the celebration! Whether you're designing a mask to wear or one to display, Lumiere Acrylics’ metallic sheen will make your creations come to life.

Not just for masks, Lumiere works beautifully on a variety of surfaces, so you can use it on fabric, wood, paper, and even leather! Imagine incorporating shimmering golds, silvers, or vibrant greens into your Mardi Gras designs. These paints will catch the light just as brightly as the Mardi Gras beads glinting in the sun.

MaimeriBlu Watercolor by Industria Maimeri

If you’re feeling more drawn to the softer, more fluid side of Mardi Gras, MaimeriBlu Watercolors from Industria Maimeri are a must-try. These high-end watercolors offer intense pigment with a wide range of colors, from brilliant reds to deep purples. MaimeriBlu is all about rich, saturated hues, which are perfect for the bold color schemes we associate with Mardi Gras celebrations. And with dozens of single pigment colors in the lineup, they blend like a dream! 

Whether you’re painting the vivid costumes, festive beads, or colorful masks, MaimeriBlu Watercolors will provide you with the rich, juicy tones needed to convey the spirit of Mardi Gras. Watercolors also allow for a more fluid approach to creating, so they’re great for spontaneous bursts of creativity during the festivities.

Mixing Media: Unleash Your Inner Artist

Why choose just one medium when you can mix them all? Mardi Gras is about having fun, celebrating, and letting your creativity run wild—so feel free to combine the intense colors of Sennelier Abstract Acrylics, the metallic shimmer of Lumiere, and the rich flow of MaimeriBlu Watercolors into one spectacular piece! With mixed media, you can layer, blend, and experiment to create your own personal interpretation of Mardi Gras.

Start with a watercolor wash as a background, then use acrylics to add depth and layers, finishing with metallic accents to make the piece shine. The possibilities are endless when you work with these fabulous, vibrant products! It's like Jojo always says- MORE IS MORE AND LESS IS A BORE!
