Developed for students and artists looking for quality paint at an outstanding value, these acrylics are ideal for learning color theory and practicing color mixing. This introductory set offers eight of the most commonly used colors, so beginning artists can start with the basic primaries as they explore acrylic painting. Each color is formulated to bring out the maximum brilliance and clarity of the individual pigment, and the easy-to-use paint goes on thick and creamy and dries to a satin finish. A heavy body acrylic paint that retains peaks and brush strokes, it's great for traditional and experimental acrylic painting, impasto, printmaking, collage and mixed media work.
