Grumbacher - Academy Acrylic Introductory Set

Academy Acrylic Introductory Set

Start painting immediately with six colors that mix into any hue

Warm and cool primaries, earth tones for neutralizing, and titanium white for tinting strength. Grumbacher formulates Academy paints with reliable pigment loads that maintain color integrity through wet blending and layering, avoiding the chalky, weak coverage that plagues cheaper student lines.

Each 3 oz. tube contains enough paint for multiple canvas studies or extended practice sessions. Burnt sienna and raw umber anchor your earth tones for landscape work and underpainting. Cadmium yellow medium, Grumbacher red, and French ultramarine blue form your primary triad for color theory exercises. The generous titanium white tube recognizes that white gets used faster than any other color in mixing and highlighting.

These paints handle standard acrylic techniques, wet-on-wet blending, glazing, impasto application, with the working properties that let beginners focus on learning rather than fighting their materials. The set provides exactly what beginning painters need for classroom assignments and independent study without excess colors that sit unused.
