Our take on the Talens Art Creation Acrylic Set 5-Color

This is a five-tube starter set of Talens Art Creation acrylics, each tube 75 ml, built around a mixing primaries palette: titanium white, primary yellow, primary magenta, primary cyan and ivory black. The paint is a pasty, resin-based acrylic that dries quickly to a silky gloss and becomes waterproof, so it suits canvas, board and craft surfaces. The five-color mixing setup is the point: magenta and cyan instead of a warm red and blue gives cleaner secondary mixes, though beginners used to a red-yellow-blue set may need time to adjust. Tubes are large for a starter set, which makes it a better value than the small 12 ml tubes common in student kits, but the range is limited to what you can mix.

Best forBeginners starting with acrylicsStudents and classroom useCraft and hobby painting on canvas or boardBuyers who prefer mixing a palette from primaries
Pros
  • Large 75 ml tubes go further than typical starter tubes
  • Mixing primaries (magenta, cyan, yellow) give clean secondary colors
  • Pasty consistency holds brush marks and can be thinned with water
  • Dries to a silky gloss and is waterproof once dry
  • Dosing caps make it easy to dispense without waste
Cons
  • Only five colors, so no ready-made earth tones or convenience colors
  • Magenta-and-cyan primaries can confuse painters used to red and blue
  • Non-washable once dry, so it stains clothing and brushes
  • Pasty body may feel stiff for fine detail work straight from the tube

Questions and answers

Is this set good for a beginner?
Yes. Five large tubes and a mixing-primaries palette cover the basics, and the paint is forgiving to work with. Expect to mix your own greens, browns and skin tones.
How does it compare with a 12-color starter set?
You get fewer colors but much more paint per tube. A 12-color set offers convenience colors; this one pushes you to mix, which teaches color theory faster.
Can I thin it with water?
Yes, it thins with water for washes and glazes. Too much water weakens the binder, so keep additions moderate for durable films.
Is it waterproof when dry?
Yes, the dried film is waterproof and non-washable. Clean brushes before the paint dries, since it stains fabric and bristles.
What surfaces does it work on?
Canvas, canvas board, wood, paper and most craft surfaces. Prime absorbent surfaces first so the paint does not sink in.
What is in the box?
Five 75 ml tubes: titanium white, primary yellow, primary magenta, primary cyan and ivory black.
