Our take on the Daler Rowney System3 Fluid Acrylic Introduction Set

The System3 Fluid Acrylic Introduction Set is a 10-tube starter kit of high-flow, water-based acrylic paint in 29.5 ml tubes. The fluid consistency pours and drips straight from the tube, so it suits pouring, airbrush-style work, fine detail and large flat coverage better than heavy-body acrylics. Pigments are lightfast and archival, and the colors mix with other System3 acrylics, heavy body paints and inks. It is a sensible first fluid set for beginners and a handy mixing palette for muralists and mixed-media painters, though the small tubes run out fast on big surfaces.

Best forBeginners trying fluid acrylics for the first timeMural and large-canvas painters who need smooth, even coverageMixed-media and pour paintersArtists who want to mix fluid color into heavier acrylics
Pros
  • Fluid, self-leveling consistency pours and drips without thinning
  • Lightfast, archival pigments that dry water-resistant
  • Mixes with System3 heavy body, inks and mediums
  • Balanced starter palette with warm and cool primaries
  • Works on canvas, paper, murals and textiles
Cons
  • Small 29.5 ml tubes empty quickly on large projects
  • Several colors are hues (Cadmium Red Hue, Coeruleum Blue Hue), not single-pigment paints
  • Fluid paint is thin for impasto and palette-knife texture
  • Dries fast, leaving little working time outdoors

What reviewers say

Owners of System3 fluid acrylics generally rate the line well for smooth flow, strong color and reliable mixing with other System3 products. The common complaints are the small tube size in this intro set and the use of hue substitutes for some traditional pigments.

Questions and answers

Is this set good for beginners?
Yes. The ten colors cover a usable mixing palette and the fluid consistency is forgiving for pouring, washes and detail. Beginners who want thick texture should add a heavy-body set.
Can I use these paints on fabric?
Yes, on textiles, but the paint is non-washable once dry. Heat-set the fabric and expect a stiffer hand than with fabric-specific paints.
How does it differ from System3 heavy body?
Fluid acrylics are thin, self-leveling and made for pouring, glazing and fine lines. Heavy body holds brush and knife marks. The two mix together.
Do I need to thin it?
Usually not. It flows from the tube; add water or medium only for very fine detail or airbrush use.
Are the colors lightfast?
Daler Rowney rates the System3 pigments as lightfast and archival. Hue colors may fade sooner than true cadmiums under strong sun.
What is in the box?
Ten 29.5 ml tubes: Titanium White, Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Red Hue, Process Magenta, Coeruleum Blue Hue, Ultramarine, Phthalo Green, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna and one more mixing color.
