- Is this set good for a beginner?
- Yes. It covers the core colors and the paint is forgiving to mix and thin. The small bottles keep the outlay low while you learn.
- How does the Standard Series differ from Amsterdam's Expert Series?
- Standard Series uses a lower pigment load and fewer single-pigment colors than the Expert line. It is aimed at students and hobbyists rather than professionals.
- Can I use these acrylics on canvas and paper?
- Yes, on canvas, canvas board, paper and most porous surfaces. Thin with water or medium for washes and glazing.
- What is the transparent bottle for?
- It is a transparent medium for glazing and extending color without thinning the binder much. It is not a pigment color.
- Do the bottles dry out once opened?
- The flip-top bottles seal reasonably well, but acrylics skin over if left open. Wipe the rim and cap tightly after use.
- Where is the Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylic Set 6x20ml cheapest?
- At Staples, for $31.29, as of our latest check.
