At our Sydney factory, we hand make the finest-quality artist acrylic colours, mediums, water-based screen ink, block inks, school paints as well as a range of cosmetic grade face paints. Since 1964 Derivan has been committed to providing the arts community with the world's finest-quality artist acrylic colours and mediums. The founders of the company had a vision "to make available to artists worldwide a premium paint while remaining environmentally and socially responsible". This was to be achieved while still maintaining the quality and personal touch that only a family company can provide. We have succeeded in just that, and Derivan has consequently grown from a tiny affair (operating out of stables in Sydney's inner city) to the multinational operation that it is today. Our vision is - we are here to provide the finest products that can be made, guided by the requirements of our customers. This is our promise to you, the artist, and is realised in our ranges of premium acrylics and mediums, all made to the highest standards to ensure not only the most brilliant and pure results.
