Unleash Your Creativity with Premium Acrylic Paint Sets

Acrylic paint sets have become a favourite among artists of all levels—and it’s easy to see why. These paints are versatile, vibrant and incredibly forgiving, making them perfect for beginners and pros alike. Whether you’re experimenting with a new style or diving into a big project, having the right acrylic paint set can unlock endless possibilities for your art.

At ArtStore Online, we’re proud to offer a diverse range of acrylic paint sets that cater to every artist’s needs. Let’s explore what makes acrylics such a fantastic medium and help you find the perfect set for your creative journey.

Why Choose Acrylics?

Acrylic paints have earned their spot in art studios worldwide thanks to their adaptability and rich colours. Here’s why artists love them.

Explore Endless Techniques

One of the best things about acrylics is how adaptable they are. Want to create bold, textured strokes? Go for a heavy-body acrylic like the Golden Artist Acrylic Heavy Body Traditional Set. Prefer soft, fluid layers? The Matisse Flow 75ml Intro Set is perfect for blending and glazing.

No matter your technique, acrylics can handle it—layering, stippling, pouring or even knife painting. They’re your all-in-one solution for experimenting with styles.

Built to Last

Acrylic paints dry quickly and form a durable, water-resistant finish that stands up to time. Your artwork stays vibrant and fresh even years later. Sets like the Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic Set are known for their long-lasting pigments and impressive coverage.

Finding the Right Acrylic Paint Set

Choosing the right set can make a world of difference to your creative process. Here are some of our top picks, tailored to suit both beginners and experienced artists.

Starter Sets for New Artists

If you’re just getting started, you’ll want a set that’s simple, affordable and fun to use. The A>2 Student Acrylic Paint Sets tick all the boxes with an array of colours that are easy to blend and perfect for learning the basics.

For a slightly more curated experience, the Matisse Structure Intro Mini Set offers a smaller selection of professional-grade paints, ideal for dipping your toes into acrylics without feeling overwhelmed.

Professional-Grade Options

For experienced artists, quality is key. Professional-grade sets provide richly pigmented colours and the consistency you need for detailed or large-scale projects.

The Golden Artist Acrylic Heavy Body Essentials Set is a popular choice for its buttery texture and exceptional colour payoff. If you’re into portrait work, the Matisse Structure Fundamental Skin Tones Set has a perfectly balanced palette to help you capture lifelike details.

Mastering Acrylic Painting

Once you’ve got the right paint set, it’s time to start creating. Here are a couple of tips to get the most out of your acrylics.

Perfect Your Layers

Acrylics dry fast, but that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve stunning gradients or layered effects. Start with thin washes of colour, building up layers as you go. For added blending time, consider using a slow-drying medium or misting your palette with water.

Use the Right Tools

Investing in good brushes and tools can elevate your work. Flat brushes are great for broad strokes, while round brushes let you add finer details. Don’t forget to grab a palette knife for texture or a sponge for unique effects.

Choosing Eco-Friendly Options

Many of our acrylic paint sets are designed with sustainability in mind. For instance, the Matisse Structure Fundamental Perfect Pastels Set is a fantastic example of how eco-conscious practices and high-quality products can go hand in hand.

By choosing these paints, you’re not just creating art—you’re also supporting sustainable practices in the art world.
