Acrylic Color Set Review

I love reviewing art supplies! I recently got an Acrylic Paint Set.

Who Can Use These Paints?

It can be used for beginners, pros and anyone in between. It's for kids and adults. These paints are non-toxic. Kids will need help opening up the paints. They have a metal that needs to be punched with each tube. Luckily the cap has a point on one side that is meant to punch the tube.

24 Colors!

I love the variety of colors! You wouldn't NEED this many colors, but having them is awesome. They are in smaller tubes. If you do nothing, but acrylic paintings you'll run out of paint fast. I do a lot of mixed media pieces, so I don't mind the smaller tubes. I look at this this way - if they are small tubes they won't dry out like bigger tubes. I can never use all the paint fast enough with the bigger tubes.

Colors includes: Zinc White, Titanium White, Lemon Yellow, Yellow Mid, Orange Yellow, Scarlet Lake, Vermilion, Orange, Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue, Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue, Green Light, Emerald Green, Viridian, Sap Green, Raw Sienna, Yellow Ochre, Red Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Vandyke Brown, Black

Benefits: 

• Images will be vivid
• Sharp colors
• Lots of colors to choose from
• Can be used on different surfaces
• Can be used for arts, and crafts 

Cost:

$31.97, it was knocked down to $27.97 and again to $17.97

What I Used Them For:

I started a mixed media piece. It's not done yet! It took a bit to get it done enough to put up on this review. It's a girl with a hoop skirt. Inside the skirt is going to be a bird cage with a mocking bird in it. On the wall there will be a cuckoo clock. It's a piece about captivity.

I did a transfer technique for the wallpaper, glue for the ground/molding with acrylics and colored pencil lines, paint and fabric for the girl. Her hair has a lot of sewing lines in it. I'll take better and more pictures of it when I'm done.

What would you paint if you had these acrylics?

Disclaimer: I received this acrylic set to assist with this review. I wrote this post, and was not influenced at all with an opinion. I only review things that I find interesting, or that would benefit my readers or family.

US Art Supply 12ml Acrylic Tube Artist Paint Set Review Part 2

You may remember that I reviewed US Art Supply 12ml Acrylic Tube Artist Paint Set. I got the set right before I left to go out of town. When I review art supplies it is so fun, yet at the same time it's more time consuming because I do feel like I need to create a project right away for it. We all know that companies like reviews to go up A.S.A.P. 

I since have done a project with the paint:

I did the painting using: 

• US Art Supply 12ml Acrylic Tube Artist Paint Set
• Gloss Medium
• Paper Punches 
• Fishing Line

The paint stuck well for the paper punches. A lot of time acrylic tends to repel on shinny surfaces. This paint didn't. If you ever have paint do that by the way just add a drop of soap to your paint. 

The paint also mixed well with my clear medium. Why use clear mediums? It works great as a replacement to glue. Dries clear, so yay. Also if you like your paint to be see through the clear medium can be mixed with paint as not to break down the chemical properties in the paint, like you would with water.

You can buy the paint on Amazon here. 

 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
