Student Acrylic Paint

Versatile Student Acrylic Paint for Art and Creative Projects

Global Colours Student Acrylic Paint offers dependable colour, versatility and value for students, emerging artists, educators, studios and creative makers. The range can be used for everything from light washes and colour-mixing exercises to opaque brushwork, palette-knife painting and heavier impasto applications. Use the colours directly from the container for stronger coverage and visible brush marks, thin them carefully with water for softer washes, or combine them with compatible acrylic mediums to change their flow, transparency, drying time, texture and finish.

Explore 34 Standard, Metallic and Fluorescent Colours

The Student Acrylic range includes 34 colours comprising 23 standard impasto colours, six metallic shades and five fluorescent colours. The standard palette includes useful yellows, reds, blues and greens alongside earth colours, black and white. These colours can be used individually or mixed together to create a much broader range of tones, tints and shades. Metallic colours such as gold, silver, copper, pearl and rose gold provide reflective finishes for artworks, decorative projects and highlighted details. Fluorescent yellow, orange, pink, green and blue provide bright contemporary colour for posters, displays, costumes, signage and creative projects where a bold finish is required. Use the filters above to browse the range by colour type and container size.

Use Student Acrylics for Painting, Pouring and Mixed Media

Student Acrylic Paint can be applied to suitably prepared art surfaces using brushes, palette knives and other painting tools. Its consistency makes it useful across a wide range of techniques, including:

• canvas and art-board painting;
• colour mixing and colour-theory exercises;
• opaque brushwork and visible impasto marks;
• palette-knife painting;
• thin washes and layered colour;
• acrylic pouring and fluid-art projects;
• decorative art and craft;
• murals and collaborative artworks;
• classroom and workshop activities;
• mixed-media projects.

For acrylic pouring, combine the colours with a compatible Pouring Medium rather than adding excessive water. Other acrylic mediums can be used to create transparent glazes, extend blending time, add gloss or produce heavier textured effects.

Zero-VOC Acrylic Paint Made in Australia

Global Colours Student Acrylic Paint is water-based, Zero-VOC, vegan and cruelty-free. The range is made in Australia and supplied in recyclable packaging. The paint dries quickly and becomes water resistant once fully dry, while remaining flexible in both light and heavier applications. Its compatibility with other Global Colours acrylic paints and mediums makes it easy to develop a broader painting system as your techniques and projects evolve.
