Thick, luxurious and totally versatile, this paint is perfect for your next project.
Amsterdam acrylics offer a solid student-level range, and the best acrylic paint for students looking for lots of colours. The sets are good value and provide a large selection of colours for their price – and if you're buying individual tubes, there are more colours in this range than most student paints.
Out of the tube, the colours look fine and lay down well onto paper, but I’ve found they tend to dry a bit lighter. Otherwise, these acrylics are well pigmented for their cost and provide decent coverage. They're quite slow drying as well, especially in thicker applications, which makes them a little more forgiving when attempting to blend paint or use impasto techniques.Water-based acrylic paints have a number of advantages.
Professional paints contain more pigment and tend to have extra ingredients to improve consistency and surface quality. Better quality paints usually cover a surface more thoroughly, while poorer quality paints may be too see-through. Another important quality to look out for is colour shift – that is how much the paint changes colour as it dries. Minimising this removes the need to compensate for changes in colour. Meanwhile, some acrylic paints have a longer working time – how long it takes for the paint to dry – than others, making blending and mixing colours easier, but slowing down layered approaches. Consider what you need your paint for and choose what is best for your needs.
