Grumbacher - Academy Acrylic Get a Start in Art Set

Academy Acrylic Get a Start in Art Set

Start painting with everything needed for your first acrylic masterpiece

Starting with process primaries makes more sense than wrestling with pre-mixed secondaries you might not need. This set includes cyan, magenta, and yellow alongside titanium white and burnt umber, five 24ml tubes that let you mix the specific hues your work requires rather than settling for manufacturer's interpretations of "green" or "orange." The accompanying mixing guide demonstrates color relationships, though your own experiments will teach you more than any chart.

Three brushes handle different applications, from broad coverage to detail work. Two 9" × 12" canvas panels provide ready surfaces while you're learning how acrylics behave, how quickly they dry, how they layer, what happens when you work wet-into-wet versus building up glazes. The included palette knife opens up textural possibilities beyond brushwork alone.

Grumbacher's Academy line delivers student-grade performance without student-grade frustration. Pigment loads remain consistent enough to produce predictable mixtures, and the paint maintains workable viscosity straight from the tube. Everything you need to start understanding acrylics: surfaces, tools, and colors that actually mix cleanly.
