Why Art Shed is Australia's Home of Mont Marte
Mont Marte was founded on a single belief: art should be for everyone. Growing from an Australian family business into a brand that now supplies over 95 countries and territories worldwide, Mont Marte has become the go-to name for artists at every level -- from first-time painters to working professionals who rely on the range daily.
Art Shed's relationship with Mont Marte goes deeper than any other Australian retailer. As a Partner Store above Platinum level, we carry products other stores simply don't have access to, receive new releases first, and have the expertise to guide customers through the full range with real knowledge. Our team uses this stuff. We know which canvas is right for which technique, which acrylic range suits which style, and which easel will actually hold up to daily studio use. That is not something you get from a warehouse or a marketplace listing.
Trusted by over 15,000 artists with five-star reviews, dispatching daily from Melbourne and Brisbane, Art Shed and Mont Marte together cover everything from your first ever paint set to a fully kitted professional studio.
The Full Mont Marte Range at Art Shed
Mont Marte Acrylic Paints
The range that built the brand. Mont Marte acrylics cover every level, style and budget -- from student-friendly Studio and Signature ranges through to the premium Dimension and Satin lines that professional artists reach for daily. Here is how the ranges break down:
- Studio Acrylic -- Fast-drying, affordable, ideal for beginners, students and large-scale practice work. Available up to 2L with a pump top for classrooms and big canvases.
- Signature Acrylic -- A step up in pigment and consistency. The go-to everyday acrylic for hobbyists and developing artists who want reliable, honest colour.
- Satin Acrylic -- Smooth application, stronger pigment load, beautiful satin finish. Sits between student and professional grade -- great for artists ready to level up without the premium price.
- Dimension Acrylic -- High-viscosity, artist-grade, thick enough for impasto and palette knife work straight from the tube. Rich colour payoff at a fraction of the cost of other artist-grade heavy body acrylics. Read our full Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic review.
- Premium Acrylic Pouring Paint -- Pre-mixed for fluid art. Shake and pour. Consistent flow, vivid colour, no ratios required.
- SuperCell Pouring Paint -- Pre-formulated to create stunning cell effects without silicone or additives. Just pour and watch it happen. We tested it -- read our SuperCell review and our SuperCell pouring guide.
- Metallic, Glitter and Fluro -- Specialty finishes for creative and decorative work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mont Marte a good brand for professional artists?
Yes -- while Mont Marte is known for affordability and accessibility, the Dimension, Satin, and Premium Oil ranges offer quality that many professional artists rely on for daily studio work. The Artiste Linen Canvas and Gallery Series brushes are also used by exhibiting and professional artists. Mont Marte is not a compromise -- it is a genuinely capable professional range at a price point that makes serious painting sustainable.
What is the difference between Mont Marte's acrylic paint ranges?
Mont Marte makes several acrylic ranges for different needs. Studio and Signature are student and hobbyist friendly. Satin offers a smoother, semi-gloss finish with stronger pigment. Dimension is a high-viscosity, artist-grade heavy body acrylic for impasto and textured work. Pouring and SuperCell paints are pre-mixed for fluid art. For the full breakdown, read our guide to Mont Marte's acrylic paint ranges.
What is the difference between Signature and Premium Mont Marte canvas?
The Signature range uses a lighter cotton weave and is ideal for students, beginners and everyday painting. The Premium (Professional) range uses heavier 380gsm cotton with kiln-dried timber frames for a more stable, professional surface suited to serious studio work and longer-lasting artworks. Both come in single thick (18mm) and double thick (38mm) profiles. Read our full Mont Marte canvas guide for a detailed comparison.
What is the difference between single thick and double thick canvas?
Single thick canvases have an 18mm deep frame -- they sit closer to the wall and fit standard frames. Double thick canvases have a 38mm deep frame that gives a clean gallery edge finish without needing a frame at all. Double thick is the popular choice for work that will be displayed unframed or hung directly on a wall.
Are Mont Marte paints non-toxic and safe for kids?
Many Mont Marte ranges are non-toxic and suitable for younger artists, including the Studio Acrylic and Kids Paint ranges. Always check the product label for specific safety information, particularly for specialty ranges like metallics, inks or oil paints.
Does Mont Marte offer vegan-friendly supplies?
Yes -- many Mont Marte synthetic brush ranges are vegan-friendly alternatives to natural hair brushes. Check individual product listings for specific vegan status.
Which Mont Marte easel is best for large-scale paintings?
For large-scale work, the Studio H-frame easel or the Large Studio Easel with Castors are the strongest choices. Both offer excellent stability and can hold large canvases securely. For smaller studio or desk work, the Tabletop Box Easel or the Aluminium Tabletop Easel are excellent compact options. See our guide to choosing a desk easel for more detail.
