Our take on the Daler Rowney System 3 Acrylic Paint Set of 6

The Daler Rowney System 3 set packs six tubes of water-based acrylic in a small starter selection. System 3 is the brand's student and hobby line, made with real pigment rather than the cheaper dyes found in many budget acrylics, so colors stay stronger when thinned. Six tubes is a narrow palette, though: fine for sketching and color mixing practice, thin for full paintings. It suits beginners, students and crafters who want a dependable name-brand acrylic without committing to a large set.

Pros
  • Real pigment load for a student line
  • Thick, buttery consistency straight from the tube
  • Water-based, so brushes clean up with soap and water
  • Works on canvas, paper, wood and board
  • Reliable brand with wide availability of single tubes
Cons
  • Only six tubes, so a limited palette
  • Mostly white and brown tones, few bright colors
  • Dries fast, which leaves little blending time
  • Not as lightfast or smooth as artist-grade acrylics

Questions and answers

Is this set enough to start painting?
It covers the basics for sketches and small studies, but six tubes limit your mixes. Most beginners add a red, a blue and a yellow single tube early on.
How does System 3 compare with artist-grade acrylics?
System 3 is a student line: fewer pigments per tube and a narrower lightfastness range than the brand's artist acrylics. It is easier to handle and more forgiving for practice.
Can I thin it with water?
Yes. It is water-based and thins with water, though too much water weakens the binder and dulls the finish. A medium keeps the film stronger.
What surfaces does it work on?
Canvas, canvas board, paper, wood and primed board all take it well. Unprimed paper may buckle from the water content.
Does it mix with other acrylic brands?
Yes, acrylics of the same water-based type mix together. Test a small amount first, since drying times and finishes vary between brands.
Where is the Daler Rowney System 3 Acrylic Paint Set of 6 cheapest?
At Staples, for $50.59, as of our latest check.
