Description
This is a review of the Daler-Rowney Graduate Acrylic range of acrylic paints. The range features 48 colors, including metallic colors, and are water-based and non-toxic. The paints are easy to brush and are versatile, being able to be used with a variety of mediums. The pots are easy to squeeze and have a unique valve mechanism and stay-clean technology to reduce waste.
Graduate Acrylics offer a very affordable range of acrylic colours. The
range features bright and strong colours that are easy to brush onto
surfaces. They can be used on any paper surface, primed board or
canvas, used indoors or outdoors and are so versatile they can also be
used with a variety of acrylic mediums, also available from
Daler-Rowney. There are 48 colours in the range, including metallic
colours.
Graduate Acrylic colours are of good pigment strength and flow easily
across paper and primed surfaces. Colours are water-based and contain
no solvents. In accordance with EC labelling regulations, all colours
are classified as non-dangerous for use.
The advantage of acrylic colours to schools and hobbyists, of course,
is that artwork can be dried and stored away shortly after an art class
has been completed, and will not smudge if water is spilled on the
surface of the painting. The colours are fast-drying, durable and
flexible, so paintings will last a long time. Paper and canvas coated
with Graduate Acrylic can be loosely rolled and stored without fear of
cracking.
With waste of colour in mind, Daler-Rowney have developed a unique
packaging for Graduate Acrylic colours. All colours come in a 500ml
squeezable pot that has a lid with a unique valve mechanism and
stay-clean technology to dispense the colour, so only what is needed
comes out of the pot, minimising the waste in the classroom, workshop
or at home!
