Try acrylic painting with the paint, brushes and paper brought together in one set. This 25-piece Daler-Rowney Simply kit gives you twelve colours and a mixing palette for colour experiments, small studies and your first paintings. The compact tubes suit exploring the technique before choosing larger paint sizes.
What is included?
- 12 tubes of Simply acrylic paint, 12 ml each, in twelve colours
- 3 paintbrushes
- 8 A4 acrylic paper sheets
- 1 sketching pencil
- 1 mixing palette
Is this acrylic set right for you?
Choose it to practise mixing colours, controlling a brush and building a painting in layers. The included sheets give you a surface for your first exercises. For large canvases or frequent painting, larger tubes and extra painting surfaces are more practical. The 25-piece count includes the tools and paper, not 25 paint colours.
Getting started with acrylics
- Draw a light pencil sketch on a sheet of acrylic paper.
- Squeeze small amounts onto the palette. Begin by mixing two colours so you can see how the mixture changes.
- Apply the soft-body paint from the tube or add a little water for a thinner brushstroke.
- Blend colours while wet for softer transitions. Let a layer dry before painting another layer over it.
Surfaces and useful limits
Use the acrylic paper for studies and colour mixing. An acrylic-compatible canvas or painting panel gives you room for a larger work. Test other surfaces first; this set is not a specialist glass-painting or fabric-paint system. The paint dries quickly, so put out only what you need for the current session.
Looking after your brushes and continuing
Keep paint from drying in the bristles. Remove excess paint and clean brushes with water after use. Close the tubes securely. Use the paint for artwork, not on skin, and follow the packaging instructions.
