Daler Rowney : System 3 Acrylic Paint

System 3 colours are highly versatile and easy-to-use acrylic colours which offer an excellent painting experience at an economical price. The colours can be used straight from the tube, thinned with water, or mixed; all System 3 colours are intermixable. Each paint layer will dry quickly to a water-resistant finish, and can be painted over once dry.

Because they are relatively economical, artists often use System 3 acrylics for mixed media works or to paint undercoats for works in oils, pastels or acrylic inks. When used with the System 3 Acrylic Printing Medium, System 3 colours will produce an economical, low-odour, water-based screen printing ink which is regarded worldwide as the finest of its kind and, being solvent-free, is ideal for use in schools, studios and at home. The printing medium slows down on-screen drying of acrylic colour, reducing the risk of screen blocking, making it easier to wash out. Screens, kept moist, will wash out easily with soap and water. The medium can be thinned with water. Even after mixing with Printing Medium, System 3 Original colours retain great density of colour, and very substantial covering power can be achieved on paper, card and board without undue cockling.

Suitable for interior use on paper, canvas, wood and various other supports. As they are not lightfast, fluorescent colours are not recommended for exterior use; all other colours are both lightfast and durable.
