Acrylic paint set Maries 12 colors — water-based artist acrylics, standard 12‑tube assortment

Maries Acrylic Paint Set 12 colors is a water-based acrylic assortment supplied in standard tubes for general artistic use. The set includes twelve carefully chosen pigments that deliver opaque to semi-transparent coverage depending on water dilution and application technique. These acrylics dry quickly, blend well on canvas, paper and wood, and are compatible with common acrylic mediums and varnishes for extended working time or altered surface effects.

Advantages

The formulation offers reliable color intensity and even spreading, suitable for underpainting, layering and glazing. Fast drying reduces waiting time between layers while maintaining adhesion and flexibility on rigid and semi-flexible supports. Compatibility with acrylic mediums allows modification of viscosity, gloss and drying time without compromising pigment performance.

Suitable for

• Painting on canvas and stretched panels
• Papers and sketchbooks designed for wet media
• Wooden panels and decorative craft surfaces
• Mixed-media projects combining collage, texture pastes and mediums

How to use

Shake or knead tubes before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Squeeze a controlled amount onto a palette and mix with water or acrylic medium to adjust viscosity and transparency. Apply with brushes, palette knives or other tools; allow sufficient drying time between layers to avoid lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water while paint is wet; once cured the film is water-resistant.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime raw canvas or wood with gesso to improve adhesion and color vibrancy. Test color mixes and opacity on a scrap of your chosen support. Use appropriate varnish after complete curing to protect finished work and unify surface sheen.
