The System 3 Studio Set is ten 37 ml tubes of Daler Rowney's student-grade acrylic, built for heavy-body painting straight from the tube or thinned to washes with water. The paint dries fast and forms a water-resistant film, so layering and glazing move quickly, and most colors carry a lightfastness rating of 3 to 4 stars. It sits above bargain school acrylics on pigment load and below artist-grade lines like Golden Heavy Body or Liquitex Heavy Body in richness and open time. It suits beginners, students and hobbyists who want a dependable starter palette without paying artist-grade prices.

Reviewers treat System 3 as a solid, affordable student acrylic that behaves well for practice and layering. Owners praise its pigment strength for the grade and its versatility across surfaces, while some find it dries too fast for wet blending and thinner than artist-grade paint.
The Daler Rowney System 3 Acrylic Studio Set contains 10 assorted colors of water-based acrylic paint, in 37 ml tubes. The paints are made from high quality pigments with superior pigment loading.
The paint can be thinned with water for pale washes, or used straight from the tube to form an insoluble film. It dries fast, so colors can be layered on top of each other or placed side by side without a long wait.
It can be used indoors and outdoors on canvas, paper, board, wood, textile, plastic and murals.
