Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylic Paint offers vibrant colour, reliable quality and unbeatable versatility at an excellent price; perfect for beginners, students, and seasoned painters alike.

Made in the Netherlands by Royal Talens, these paints are formulated with high-grade pigments and 100% acrylic resin. The result? Bold, bright colour with a smooth, buttery consistency that handles beautifully on canvas, paper, wood, or nearly any surface you can think of. Whether you’re building layers, glazing, or going full impasto, Amsterdam holds its own. Every colour in the range is highly lightfast, meaning your work will stay just as vivid for years to come. Plus, the range includes both traditional and contemporary shades, including metallics, fluorescents and transparent tones, all fully mixable across the line. These paints are alkali resistant and consequently, are suitable for wall paintings. The paint can be thinned easily with water. If applied in a thin film, paint can dry within half an hour. The specific preparation method makes the paint practically odourless.

Available in a wide range of sizes to suit every studio setup, from compact 20ml tubes to generous 500ml and 1L bottles, as well as handy dosing nozzles (sold separately). Perfect for schools, studios, murals, or anyone who just wants to dive into acrylic without compromise. If you’re just starting out or building a bold body of work, Amsterdam Standard Series is ready to go wherever your ideas take you.
