FAQs

Can I mix these paints with other brands of acrylics?
Yes, you can mix the Daler-Rowney Simply Acrylics with other acrylic paint brands. However, it's best to test a small amount first to ensure compatibility.
How do I clean my brushes?
Clean your brushes thoroughly with soap and water immediately after each use. Make sure all the paint is removed from the bristles to prevent the brushes from drying out and becoming damaged.
What surfaces can I use these paints on?
These acrylic paints can be used on a variety of surfaces, including canvas, paper, wood, and cardboard.
Are these paints waterproof when dry?
Acrylic paints are water-resistant when dry, but not completely waterproof. Avoid excessive water exposure on finished artwork.
Can I use these paints for airbrushing?
While the paint can be thinned for airbrushing, it might not be the ideal choice. Consider using specifically designed airbrush paints for the best results.
