This set provides a balanced color palette and multiple opacities. The Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylics are made with high-quality pigments and 100% acrylic emulsion - this medium viscosity paint provides nice brush strokes and texture, but can also cover large areas with a smooth color. These paints are made from pure, non-fading pigments which gives them a high level of lightfastness. They are alkali resistant, making them suitable for wall painting as well as a variety of other surfaces including canvas paper, and stone! Paint is practically odorless.
