Nowadays painting in acrylics has been adopted by many artists as their medium of choice having many of the strengths of oil paint in terms of colour translucency, opacity and body without the need to use toxic solvents for mixing and cleaning. Its versatility can be extended further with the use of mediums that increase the drying time, change the finish and alter the viscosity or fluidity of the paint largely without affecting the colour strength.
Acrylic painting sets from leading manufactures such as Winsor & Newton, Daler-Rowney and Liquitex. When choosing a set, consider the colours, pigment quality, and tube sizes, plus any additional accessories included. Sets are ideal for professionals, students, hobbyists or as a gift.
