Acrylic paint set Talens Standard Series General Selection, 6 × 20 ml, multi-colour

Talens Standard Series General Selection is a compact set of acrylic paints containing six 20 ml tubes in assorted colours. These water-based liquid acrylics are formulated for general painting applications on canvas, paper and mixed media supports. The set is suitable for hobbyists, students and anyone working on small-scale projects that require quick-drying, versatile colour with easy water thinning and cleaning.

Advantages

The paints dry quickly to a durable, water-resistant finish and provide consistent pigmentation across the included colours. Being water-based, they thin with water for washes and glazing and can be layered without long waiting times between coats. The tubes are convenient for controlled dispensing and storage, and the assorted selection covers common primary and secondary hues for mixing.

Suitable for

• Canvas painting and primed boards
• Paper, sketchbooks and mixed-media surfaces
• Student assignments, hobby projects and craft work
• Layering, glazing and colour mixing exercises

How to use

Shake or stir each tube before use if separation is visible. Apply directly from the tube or thin with water for washes and glazes; use synthetic brushes, palette knives or other tools as required. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers to avoid lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water while paint is wet; dried paint is more difficult to remove.

Usage recommendations

For durable results on canvas, use a primed surface and consider sealing finished work with an appropriate varnish once fully cured. Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place and close caps tightly to prevent skinning. Test colour mixing and opacity on a scrap surface before applying to final work.
