R&L Essentials acrylic paint 120 ml

One tube, two approaches to painting

You receive one 120 ml tube in your selected colour. This Essentials acrylic has a thick, smooth consistency: use it undiluted for opaque colour areas or add water for a more transparent colour wash. The 38 colour choices are individual tubes, not a set. Make a test on your chosen surface to compare coverage and dilution.

From mixing study to painting

Use the generous tube for an underpainting, a series of colour studies or replenishing a frequently used colour. The paint suits surfaces including canvas, wood and card. Choose a surface suited to acrylics and test smooth or unfamiliar materials first. Select your brush and palette separately.

Practise a colour sequence

Choose two colours and make a sequence of mixtures on your palette, moving from mostly one colour to mostly the other. Apply them side by side on the same surface. This helps you plan a transition before painting a large area. Add water only to a separate portion if you also want to compare a more transparent layer.

Choose your colour

Select your preferred colour name above. The range also includes gold and silver for a metallic accent. Each selection is one colour; order other colours separately.
