How It Is Used:
Acrylic paint is water‑based and easy to work with - it can be applied directly from the tube or thinned with water for washes and glazing techniques. Apply with brushes, palette knives or other tools depending on the effect you want to achieve. The paint dries quickly and forms a permanent, flexible film that adheres well to most surfaces. You can blend colours on your palette or canvas, layer tones for depth, or experiment with texture and mixed media. System 3 Original acrylic paint is especially good for building techniques and styles, whether you’re practising foundational skills or creating finished artwork.
