Are sets better for beginners than individual tubes?
Yes, sets usually offer a curated primary palette that teaches you how to mix colours effectively, often at a lower price than buying tubes individually.
What is usually included in a starter set?
Most sets include 5 to 12 colours, typically featuring a warm and cool version of the primaries (red, blue, yellow), plus white, black, and sometimes an earth tone like Burnt Sienna.
Are the tubes in sets full-sized?
It can vary - ‘intro’ sets often have 20ml tubes, while ‘studio’ or ‘professional’ sets may feature standard 60ml or 120ml tubes.
Can I buy sets for specific techniques?
Yes, Jackson’s offers specialised sets for portraiture, landscape, and even ‘mixing sets’ that include a specific instructional guide.
