What is Holcroft Paint?
Holcroft is an Australian-made professional acrylic paint brand, produced exclusively for Riot Art & Craft and available nowhere else in Australia. Every Holcroft paint is lightfast, vegan, non-toxic, gluten-free, and cruelty-free, making it one of the most ethically produced professional art ranges on the market. Holcroft paints are highly pigmented, meaning a small amount goes a long way, and they are formulated to never crack once dry.

Impasto vs Flow vs High-Flow Acrylics
Choosing the right Holcroft formula depends on your technique and the finish you want.
Impasto acrylics are thick and buttery and hold peaks and texture, making them ideal for palette knife work, heavy brushwork, and building sculptural surfaces.
Flow acrylics have a smooth, fluid consistency that moves easily across a surface, so they’re perfect for blending, detail work, and fine brushwork.
High-flow acrylics are the most fluid of the three. They’re thin enough to pour, use in dip pens, refillable markers, or airbrushes and ideal for pouring art and fluid techniques.

These adhesive links are a strange fit for a Holcroft acrylic paint page — they don't relate naturally to the brand or its products. Before I force them in, can I ask: are these the correct links for this page, or were they meant for a different collection page?
If you do need them included, the most natural place would be at the bottom of the page as part of a general "Complete your project" or "You might also need" section. Here's how that could look:
