Royal & Langnickel acrylic painting kits with brushes and surfaces

Start acrylic painting or give a painting kit with paint, brushes and a painting surface selected to work together. Choose one of these four Royal & Langnickel sets. They differ in colour count, tube size, brushes and painting surfaces, rather than just the number of pieces on the pack.

Choose your kit and check its contents

• Wooden case, Painting Set: 10 tubes of 12 ml (120 ml of paint), 6 synthetic Taklon brushes, 2 canvas boards measuring about 12.7 × 17.8 cm and a six-well mixing palette. Supplied in a wooden carrying case.
• Large ClearView: 12 tubes of 12 ml (144 ml), 6 synthetic Taklon brushes and an acrylic paper pad measuring about 22.9 × 30.5 cm, in a reusable transparent case.
• Deluxe ClearView: 12 tubes of 21 ml (252 ml), 12 synthetic Taklon brushes and an acrylic paper pad measuring about 22.9 × 30.5 cm, in a reusable transparent case.
• Studio Complete: 12 tubes of 12 ml (144 ml), 6 brushes, 5 painting canvases, 2 graphite pencils and a mixing palette. Supplied in cardboard packaging.

Every set also contains a palette knife, eraser, sharpener and instruction booklet. The wooden case and both ClearView sets each include one graphite pencil; Studio Complete includes two. The piece count on the packaging is not the number of paint colours.

Choose the wooden case for two small studies and compact storage, ClearView for painting on paper, Deluxe for more paint per colour and more brushes, or Studio Complete for several canvas paintings. The pictured surfaces belong to the selected set; you receive one kit rather than all four together.

What else will you need?

Have a water pot and protection for your table and clothing ready. The ClearView sets list a palette knife but no separate mixing palette; use your own palette with these kits. An easel is separate if you want to work upright.

A first painting study

Lightly sketch a simple subject with the pencil. On a sample area, place the same colour straight from the tube, mixed with white and as a thin layer side by side. Let them dry, then compare coverage, colour and brush marks. Record your mixing proportions and use them for a small study on the supplied surface.

The acrylic paint has a smooth, thick consistency and can be diluted gradually with water. Work with small portions and close the tubes between uses. Let one layer dry before painting over it; dried paint is permanent. Try an unfamiliar additional surface on a small sample first.

Cleaning and storage

Wipe excess paint from brushes and wash with water and mild soap before paint dries. Clean the palette and palette knife while paint is still wet, and let materials dry before storing them. Follow the label, protect clothing and wash your hands after painting.
