What is the Traditions Artist System?
Welcome to JansenArt™ Traditions. Traditions is more than a company providing paint to our industry. We are a concept and idea that has been passed down from artist to artist for hundreds of years. Traditions is a new generation resin based acrylic that can perform as an acrylic, watercolor or oil paint. The JansenArt colors utilize the highest quality, lightfast, safe, pure pigments available today. This state-of-the-art line is ideal for many surfaces, including wood, canvas, metal, leather, ceramic bisque, paper and walls. Paints are available in 3 oz. easy-flow bottles with new improved caps and larger holes for this thicker paint. Suggested retail prices range from $3.50 to $10.50. Mediums, sealers, and primers are also available in 8 oz. and 16 oz. sizes.
With this new system will come a new language. It is actually not a new language, it is a language that has been used by artist and chemists for hundreds of years. To much emphases has been placed on color names and conversion charts. When you understand what is in paint, you don’t need to learn all those things. We will provide conversion charts for you but the goal is to teach you what is in those colors, and how they are made. You will no longer be dependent on companies to make those colors. You will be able to make any color you desire.
The goal of Traditions is to pass on information and rekindle old painting techniques that have been lost. We are striving to keep our art not only moving forward, but actually moving backwards towards our “roots”. There we find the traditions of painting and painting techniques. For this adventure we will need to relearn some terms, ideas and processes that have been lost or not past on over the years. We will combine these traditions with current painting and chemical standards to form a new language in decorative painting thus elevating our artist from the craft industry closer to the fine art industry.
