I like to paint, and I wanted to get back into it, so I picked up this 24-color acrylic paint set.
I have always painted with acrylics. Oils are what most people think of, but acrylics are readily available, hold their color nicely and are easy to work with. This Vacasso set from MyArtscape gives you 24 colors in 12ml tubes, and it is now sold under the MyArtscape name, which is where the button below goes.
- Huge range of in-between colors, so less mixing and fewer trips to the store
- Small tubes are fine because you rarely use a lot of any one color
- Inexpensive, great for starting out
- Well packed for shipping
- 12ml goes fast for the colors you use most, like white and black, so buy those in bigger tubes

Why acrylics
I recently showed you a painting I acquired from Loving Vincent, the fully painted animated movie, and it made me want to paint again.
Acrylics are not harder or simpler than oils. To me they are just easy to find, hold their color well and are easy to work with.
Unboxing and colors
The set came double shrink-wrapped, so nothing comes apart in transit. Inside are 24 tubes, including crimson red, scarlet, vermilion, orange, yellow, flesh tint, raw sienna, yellow ochre, deep yellow, mid yellow, lemon yellow and titanium white.
On the cool side you get cerulean blue hue, ultramarine, phthalo blue, cobalt blue, emerald green, light green, viridian, grass green, burnt sienna, burnt umber, Van Dyck brown and black.
Are 12ml tubes enough?
Each tube is not huge, but usually you are not using a lot of any one color, unless it is the predominant color in your painting.
The colors you will burn through are black and white, especially titanium white, so I would buy big tubes of those separately.
About the buy link
This set is now sold on Amazon as the MyArtscape 24 x 12ml acrylic paint set, which is where the button goes. Check the listing for the current color list.
Who it is for
I always found myself running out to find one specific green and buying a full tube. A set like this gives you a big range of in-between colors without that expense. It is great if you are starting out, and handy even if you have been painting a while.
