Our take on the Daler-Rowney System3 Acrylic Paint 22ml Starter Set of 6

The System3 starter set gives you six 22ml tubes of Daler-Rowney's student-grade acrylic: titanium white, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, ultramarine, emerald and burnt umber. The paint is water-based, opaque, quick-drying and lightfast, with a creamy body that thins with water. The six colors mix into a wide range of hues, so it covers the basics for a beginner without buying singles. Against rivals like Liquitex Basics and Golden High Flow, System3 sits in the same student tier: heavier and more buttery than craft acrylics, but with less pigment load and fewer colors than a full studio set.

Questions and answers

Is this set good for a beginner?
Yes. Six core colors, water thinning and opaque coverage make it forgiving for first acrylic projects. You will want to add black and a few extras as you go.
How does System3 compare with artist-grade acrylics?
System3 is student grade: less pigment, lower cost and slightly weaker color strength than artist lines. It still handles well and is lightfast for practice and studies.
Can I thin these paints with water?
Yes. The water-based acrylic thins with water for washes and glazes. Too much water weakens the binder, so keep additions modest for durable layers.
What surfaces can I use it on?
Canvas, canvas board, paper, wood and most primed surfaces work. It is permanent once dry, so protect clothing and work surfaces.
What is in the set?
Six 22ml tubes: titanium white, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, ultramarine, emerald and burnt umber.
