Schmincke : Primacryl Acrylic Paint Sets

A selection of artists’ paint sets featuring Schmincke Primacryl Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paints. Primacryl is a premium, eco-friendly artist acrylic color that is highly pigmented with excellent lightfastness.

In 2025, Schmincke improved the formulation of Primacryl to create a professional quality acrylic paint that is more sustainable and free from microplastics. The paint features an innovative binder without synthetic polymer microparticles, making it microplastic-free. Out of the 90 colors, 89 are free from animal-based ingredients, and all tubes, jars, and bottles are made using recycled plastics.

The heavy body consistency of Primacryl Artists' Acrylics makes them ideal for expressive brushstrokes and texture as well as smooth brushwork when thinned with water. There is minimal color shift between the wet and dry states for accurate color matching, and the range offers the highest possible lightfastness of four and five stars. All cadmium colors are cadmium-free, using formulations that accurately match these colors.
