Acrylic Paint Sets

Find the Right Acrylic Paint Set

Global Colours acrylic paint sets provide a convenient way to start a new paint collection, expand the colours already in your studio or purchase coordinated acrylic colours for a classroom, workshop or creative project. The range includes compact sets with smaller containers and broad colour selections, along with larger-volume kits designed for regular painting, teaching and group activities. The best choice depends on whether colour variety or paint volume is most important for your work.

Acrylic Paint Starter Sets

A smaller acrylic paint starter set is ideal for beginners, students and artists who want a practical group of essential colours for mixing. The five-colour set contains core colours that can be mixed to create a broad range of secondary shades, making it a useful introduction to colour theory and acrylic painting. The ten-colour set adds further ready-to-use colours while retaining a compact and manageable collection. These 75ml sets are suitable for canvas painting, art classes, craft projects, palette-knife techniques, colour mixing and general creative use.

Mixed-Colour Acrylic Paint Sets

For artists who want a broader choice of ready-made shades, the 24-colour set provides extensive colour variety in compact 36ml containers. It includes primary and secondary colours, earth tones, greens, metallic shades, black and white, reducing the amount of colour mixing required for detailed or varied projects. The 18-colour 250ml set balances colour variety with substantially greater paint volume. It is well suited to schools, workshops, community art programs, studios and artists who regularly work across a wide palette. The 12-colour 500ml set offers larger containers of frequently used colours, making it a practical option for classrooms, shared studios, murals and larger creative projects where paint volume is more important than having every colour pre-mixed.

Versatile Acrylic Paint for Art and Craft

Global Colours acrylic paint can be applied directly with a brush or palette knife for opaque colour and visible texture. It can also be thinned with water for washes or combined with compatible acrylic mediums to change its flow, transparency, texture and finish. Use the colours for:

• canvas and art-board painting;
• classroom and student projects;
• colour-mixing exercises;
• brush and palette-knife techniques;
• fluid art and acrylic pouring;
• decorative art and craft;
• mixed-media projects;
• larger collaborative artworks.

For pouring techniques, combine the paint with a compatible acrylic pouring medium rather than over-diluting it with water. Other acrylic mediums can be used to extend drying time, increase transparency, add gloss or build texture.

Zero-VOC Acrylic Paint Made in Australia

Global Colours acrylic paint sets contain water-based, Zero-VOC acrylic paint made in Australia. The paint is vegan and cruelty-free and is designed to provide strong colour, flexibility and versatility across light washes and heavier acrylic applications. The paint dries quickly and becomes water resistant once fully dry, while remaining flexible across both thin and thicker applications. The colours are compatible with the broader Global Colours Student Acrylic and acrylic-medium ranges, making it easy to replace individual colours or expand your painting system over time.

Which Acrylic Paint Set Should You Choose?

Choose according to the way you plan to paint:

• Choose the five-colour 75ml set for an affordable introduction to acrylic painting and colour mixing.
• Choose the ten-colour 75ml set for a wider everyday palette in manageable containers.
• Choose the 24-colour 36ml set for the largest ready-made colour selection in a compact format.
• Choose the 18-colour 250ml set for workshops, classrooms and frequent use across a broad palette.
• Choose the 12-colour 500ml set when larger paint volumes are more important than having the maximum number of colours.

Individual colours can also be purchased from the Global Colours Student Acrylic Paint range when you need to replace a favourite shade or expand beyond the colours included in your set.
