Is this set good for a beginner?

Yes. Eight colors in 40 ml tubes are enough to learn mixing and brush handling without buying a large palette. Expect to add a few colors later as your work grows.

How does it compare with Liquitex Basics or Amsterdam student sets?

Those lines name their pigments and publish lightfastness ratings, and their starter sets usually include more colors. This set is smaller and gives less technical information, which matters more for finished work than for practice.

What colors are in the set?

The set is described as eight assorted colors, but the specific color names are not listed. Check the tube labels or the set packaging for the exact palette before buying.

Can I use these paints on canvas and paper?

Yes. Acrylics bond to canvas, paper, board and most porous surfaces. Thin them with water for paper and keep them thicker for canvas.

Do I need extra supplies with this set?

You will need brushes, a surface such as canvas or paper, and a water container. A palette for mixing and a spray bottle to keep paint workable also help.
