Amsterdam Acrylic 120 ml Set / 5 Primary

Acrylic pouring

Please dont listen to the reviews giving low marks because these arent primary colors. They actually are. Primary cyan and primary magenta are far superior primary colors compared to the usual red and blue. I tested this out when I received my paint. I put the same amount of cyan and magenta and made a beautiful purple and then I did the same with red and blue from artist loft paint and guess what they definitely did NOT make purple. It was a muddy mess. If you are looking for TRUE PRIMARY COLORS by a great brand for a really good price pick these! You wont be disappointed.

Really nice paints

I will update this review next week since haven’t received these paints yet, but I am giving them 5 stars out of principle after reading unfair reviews docking stars because they don’t know magenta is a primary color and red is not. I’m trying to teach my kid basic color theory for kindergarten and for some reason they don’t make CYM primary paints for kids. I guess Big Paint doesn’t want them to know the truth about color theory, so they’re perpetuating the lie of red yellow and blue? Maybe Crayola is in too deep and can’t turn back now; what would happen if people found out the truth? Red and blue sales would plummet, the edgy emo kids and studio art majors who regret going to college would become even more suicidal - it would be CHAOS! Yes, you read that correctly. Your whole childhood was a lie. Red, yellow and blue are not actually the primary colors. The primary colors are magenta, cyan, and yellow. Red blue and yellow are a bastardized version of these colors, with cheaper pigments. BUT WAIT! You cry out, desperate to hold onto your fond childhood memories, the other colors can’t make red, yellow and blue! Ha! I am going to expose the conspiracy - magenta and cyan make blue! Yellow and magenta make red! As you mix the colors to see for yourself, the “primary” colors of red and blue appearing as you mix together the “wrong” primary colors, you have flashbacks of finding out Santa Clause doesn’t exist. Your sense of reality challenged, you wonder other fallacies you’ve been led to believe. Are there really two political parties, or a single group of obscenely wealthy families putting on a show? You start reading George Orwell books. If the government admitted to MK Ultra, what are they doing that they don’t tell us? You begin to make your family uncomfortable at dinner. “It’s not a conspiracy,” you tell them, “the documents are public record.” Your spouse files for divorce and takes the kids. All because you bought some paint on Amazon. You’re right though, it’s not red. It’s magenta.

Exactly what it should be. They are the actual and true primaries. Cyan, magenta and a true primary yellow. I think a great many people believe red and blue are primaries. They arent. From magenta, cyan and a mid yellow any color can be made. Which makes this a great set. I wanted a heavy body acrylic. That is what I typed into the search. I didnt read the description. So when I got this I was pleased that they were the true primaries but a little bummed that they werent heavy body. HOWEVER, with that being said, these arent water and bland. They work great. Also, a little hint: if you do need them to be more thick, opaque, heavy, etc just add a bit of corn starch. Itll thicken and opaque it right up for you. Without chalkiness and without lightening. So really, with that tip, one is able to get the best of both worlds with this paint. Absolutely would recommend and Absolutely will purchase again.

I purchased this after watching an online painter do amazing work with the colors. The tubes are easy to use, the colors blend nicely. My skills are not as advanced as the online painter. I found the white to be chalky and frustrating as mixing it with the other colors made them chalky. I purchased the Liquitex Heavy Body paints next and prefer their depth of color. I continue to use the Amsterdam brand, but prefer the Liquitex.

FANTASTIC value for the money. I love this brand and the quality of their paint, so the deal was amazing. I use it on canvas, fabric, blend it with mediums, you name it. Awesome paint, awesome deal!

I use them in everything I do. Art work and wood work.
