Is this set good for a complete beginner?

Yes. It covers the core colors and the paint is forgiving to mix and thin. You will still need a few brushes and a surface to paint on.

How does it compare with Liquitex Basics or Galeria?

Those lines sell larger tubes and wider ranges. This set is smaller and simpler, which suits people testing acrylics rather than painting often.

Yes. They work on canvas, canvas board, thick paper and most porous craft surfaces. Prime bare wood or fabric first.

Usually not for opaque work. Add a little water or medium for thinner washes, but too much water weakens the binder.

Ten 22ml tubes of water-based acrylic in a beginner color range, including yellow and other mixing colors. Brushes and a palette are not included.

For occasional painting, yes. If you paint weekly, expect the popular colors to run out first and plan to buy larger tubes.
