Grumbacher - Academy Oil Bonus Set

Academy Oil Bonus Set

Explore oil painting fundamentals with six essential colors plus bonus white

Six essential colors plus a bonus tube of white gives you everything needed to start mixing a full palette. Grumbacher Academy oils use quality pigments formulated for smooth handling and reliable mixing behavior, cadmiums maintain their strength when tinted, earth tones provide natural warmth, and thalo blue offers powerful tinting capacity that stretches across cool mixtures. The included titanium white handles the heavy lifting of value adjustments and opacity control that oil painting demands.

Each 24ml tube contains enough paint for multiple studies while you learn color relationships and mixing ratios. These student-grade oils balance affordability with genuine oil paint performance, using the same binders and pigment types as professional lines but with adjusted pigment loads that keep costs manageable. They work seamlessly with traditional oil techniques, wet-into-wet blending, glazing over dried layers, impasto application, and clean up with standard mineral spirits or odorless thinners.

The color selection covers your fundamental mixing needs: warm and cool primaries, essential earth tones for neutralizing and warming mixtures, plus ivory black for value control. Start here, learn what colors you actually use, then expand your palette deliberately rather than buying sets filled with colors you'll rarely touch.
