Product Information

Full details

The Desire Deluxe Acrylic Paint Set is designed for artists of all skill levels, from hobbyists to professionals, who require a versatile and reliable medium for various creative projects. The set offers the key benefit of a professional-grade, butter-like consistency that allows for seamless blending and smooth application on surfaces ranging from canvas to stone. While it is an excellent all-in-one starter kit, users should note that the quick-drying nature of the paints requires efficient work habits to prevent the medium from drying on the brush or palette prematurely.

FAQs

Is this paint safe for children?

Yes, the formula is non-toxic, making it safe for student and hobbyist use.

Can I use these paints for outdoor projects?

The paints are permanent and UV-resistant; however, we recommend applying a clear outdoor-grade sealer if the item will be exposed to harsh weather conditions.

How do I thin the paint?

You can thin the paint with a small amount of water or a dedicated acrylic medium.

Do I need to prime my canvas?

While the paints work well on most surfaces, using a Gesso primer on raw canvas will prevent the paint from soaking in and help preserve the longevity of your art.

What is the best way to clean the paint off skin?

Use warm water and gentle soap while the paint is still wet; if it has dried, gently scrub with a soft cloth and soap.

Troubleshooting

Paint is drying too fast on the palette

Use a damp sponge or a stay-wet palette system to maintain moisture levels while working.

Brushes have become stiff and unusable

Soak brushes in warm water with a mild brush cleaner or dish soap for 30 minutes, then gently work the bristles to loosen the dried acrylic.

Paint is not sticking to a non-porous surface

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and lightly sanded to provide 'tooth' for the paint to adhere to.

Pros and Cons

  • Non-toxic formula safe for use by various age groups
  • Excellent lightfastness and UV resistance for long-term project display
  • Highly versatile across multiple porous and non-porous surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, prepare your workspace by protecting surfaces with newspaper or a drop cloth. When applying to wood or porous surfaces, consider using a primer for a more vibrant finish. After each session, immediately rinse brushes with warm, soapy water to prevent the quick-drying acrylic from hardening the bristles. Store your paint tubes with caps tightly secured to prevent air exposure and premature drying. Always clean the mixing palette before the paint sets to maintain a smooth surface for future color mixing.
