Amsterdam Acrylic 120 ml Set / 5 Primary

The tube of yellow paint was missing from the box. Disappointed as yellow was badly needed.

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.

Excellent

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.

good

Beautiful

Amsterdam is definitely a step up from basic level paint. In some ways I can understand paying more for higher quality paint, but since I’m not a professional I’m still on a budget. This set was much more affordable than buying individual tubes.

Good paint at a great price!

I love this brand for acrylic paint. They say it’s a pack of the primary colors plus white and black but that “red” is a primary magenta and the blue is too light to be a primary blue and the name of it’s primary cyan. Even thought this brand doesn’t sell a paint that says “primary blue” the phthalo blue in my opinion is closer to a primary blue then the one included in the package. But I saw the price and thought that it wasn’t bad so despise the description and one other review about the magenta paint, I still bought it cause I honestly don’t care but this review is just for people that expect the actual primary colors in it. In case anyone is trying to find the closest to primary red and blue in this brand I inserted pics of the paints I use. Hope this helps somebody.

Loved it, using it for my college art class and making really good use of the acrylic colors
