Our take on the Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylic Paint Pastel Set 12x20ml

A 12-tube set of Amsterdam Standard Series acrylic paint in pastel shades, 20 ml (0.7 fl oz) per tube. The paints are water-based, heavy-body acrylics with a buttery consistency that holds brush marks and works for canvas, paper and mixed media. The pastel palette is a curated range of soft, light tones rather than a full spectrum. At $30.29 at Staples as of November 7, 2026, it is the best new price among the two stores listing it.

Questions and answers

Is this set good for beginners?
Yes. Standard Series is a student-to-intermediate line with an easy, forgiving consistency. The pastel palette is narrow, though, so pair it with a basic set of primaries and a dark.

Expert Series uses higher pigment loads and single-pigment colors for cleaner mixing. Standard Series is cheaper and fine for studies, sketches and hobby work.
Can I use these paints on fabric or wood?
They adhere to most porous surfaces, including canvas, paper, wood and primed board. For fabric, mix with a textile medium and heat-set the paint.
What is in the box?
Twelve 20 ml tubes of pastel acrylic paint. No brushes, palette or medium are included.
