Grumbacher has reformulated the original Academy Acrylic line, and added 24 new colors to form the improved 48 color line. All colors now carry an ASTM lightfast rating of 1 - excellent; they are highly pigmented and have superior tinting strength. The colors have traditional masstones, authentic tints and true undertones for easy, accurate mixtures.

Developed with a single student-grade price, professionals will also find that Academy Acrylics perform as well as, if not better than, many professional grade acrylics currently on the market.

Academy Acrylic Colors are available in 3-ounce (90-milliliter) tubes.

I started with academy acrylics when I needed coloring for customized model horses. They dry quickly and don't clump. Its the brand I look for whenever I buy acrylics.

It is very good, it goes on like butter

Rated by: Leah B. in Pawtucket, RI

I loved the smoothness of the acrylics, similar to some oil paints! Very impressive. What I did not like was the odor of the paint when it was still wet. All in all a great product.

Rated by: Stacey W. in Metairie, LA

These are the only paints I use; they are an excellent consistancy, the colors are vibrant, the cost is not outrageous, and they can be used by novice and professional painters. Highly recommended.

I've always used grumbacher academy acrylic colors because i like it's consistency. It retains it colors and doesn't dry too late or too soon. Misterart's delivery timing was perfect!

Rated by: Jeanie N. in Seattle, WA

These paints are great quality and store for several years after you open them. I have some acrylic tubes from other companies and they all dried up, while these were still wet and ready to go.

Rated by: John G. in Mays Landing, NJ

Very well, but I was expecting thicker

Rated by: jake g. in los angeles, CA

Grumbachers academy acrylic paints are bright and vibrant, it is a huge tube and lasts a very long time. If you like to paint thick you can do that with these paints, if you like no texture you can use these also. These are great paints.

Rated by: Mary L. in Huntington, NY

Needed a good acrylic on a budget- these are fine, the body is still a little loose, but the colors are great. PS- was comparing price with Galleria thinking these were more expensive- but then realized the price is really the same- these are 3 oz tubes!
