Grumbacher Academy Acrylic Paint Sets

Grumbacher Academy® Acrylic Paint Sets- Made in the USA

Academy acrylic colors provide the artist with a versatile option for painting and crafting. Thinned with water, the paint can be applied in delicate, translucent layers much like watercolor. Straight from the tube, or thickened with a medium, these colors can be applied to a canvas with the same techniques used for oil color. Academy acrylics can also be thinly applied to layers of paper for a decoupage effect. The possibilities are as limitless as the artist's imagination. Acrylic paint is a relatively new medium in the pantheon of artistic media. Developed in the mid part of the 20th century as a house paint, acrylics were first used in the art realm by muralists. It covered large areas fairly quickly and had a much faster drying speed than oil based paints. Grumbacher® Academy® Acrylics follow that chain of artistic evolution.

Artist Testimonial

"My passion for painting began when I was 10 years old. I began using Grumbacher Academy Acrylics at the age of 13 as I worked on creating a portfolio and I have been working with Grumbacher Academy Acrylics ever since. They have excellent pigments and a thick consistency. I also appreciate the wide range of colors available. I work with these paints on my own and as an Art Instructor with both adults and children.” - Professional Artist- Elizabeth M. Ibarra
