Acrylic paint Talens Amsterdam 20 ml tube — assorted colours (Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Purple, Red, White, Yellow)

Talens Amsterdam acrylic paint in 20 ml tubes provides a versatile starter selection of artist-quality colours in convenient squeeze tubes. This set contains twelve 20 ml tubes from the Amsterdam Standard series in a range of pigments designed to build a balanced palette for fine art, mixed media and craft projects. The paints are water-based, made with high-quality pigments suspended in 100% acrylic emulsion, offering medium viscosity that supports visible brush strokes and textural effects while still allowing smooth coverage of larger areas. Tubes are supplied in recycled-plastic trays and partially recycled cardboard packaging; all packaging is recyclable.

Advantages

These acrylics offer quick drying, reliable coverage and easy blending suitable for both layering and glazing techniques. The medium viscosity balances body and flow, enabling expressive brushwork as well as even application across surfaces. Being water-based, the paints are easy to dilute and clean up with water when wet. The set’s range of colours gives a practical starting palette for mixing a wide spectrum of tones and hues.

• Fine art and canvas painting

How to use

Squeeze a small amount of paint from the tube onto a palette and mix colours as required. Apply to primed canvas, paper or board using brushes, palette knives or other application tools. For thinner washes or glazing, dilute with water or an appropriate acrylic medium; for thicker texture, use directly from the tube or combine with modelling paste. Clean brushes and tools with water before the paint dries. Allow each layer to dry fully before applying subsequent layers to prevent lifting or unintended blending.

Usage recommendations

Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place and reseal caps after use to extend shelf life. Use primers or gesso on porous supports for best adhesion and colour vibrancy. Dispose of packaging in appropriate recycling streams to support environmental recycling efforts.
