Creating the perfect artist paint
Derivan is Australia’s leading artist colour maker and globally recognised as an industry leader. Now Derivan is opening its doors to let artists peak behind the curtain.
Embark on an in depth journey to discover first hand why Derivan paints are the best in the world.
Spend some time at Derivan’s Sydney factory, guided through the history of artist paint in Australia and the rigorous testing the best Acrylic must go through.
Join our expert colormakers, finalising some of the gorgeous Matisse Structure range and help to make a small batch of paint from beginning to end (and take a free sample of the paint you helped make home).
All visitors will discover the basics of colour making and participate in testing several finished products, in a hands on class of colour theory.
An exceptional experience for any Australian Artist.
