How many tubes are included in the set, and what are their volumes?

Three sets are available: 12, 18, or 24 tubes, each with a volume of 12 ml. Larger sets offer a wider range of colors and a lower price per tube.

Can the paints be thinned with water?

Yes, the formula is water-thinnable. Straight from the tube, the paint retains a thickness ideal for impasto, while adding water gives you a softer, even coat. Wash brushes and palette knives with regular water.

How quickly do the paints dry?

Drying time is short. Thin layers dry in a few minutes, while thicker impasto takes a few hours. Once dry, the surface is durable, satin, and water-resistant.

Is the set suitable for beginners?

Yes. The El Greco line from German brand KREUL, which has been making materials for artists since 1838, is a classic range for students, hobby artists, and professionals. Its intense coverage makes it easier to get started.

How to Work

Four Steps from a tube of paint to a finished painting.

You don’t need experience or expensive equipment. All you need is a canvas, a palette knife or a brush with stiff bristles, and a set of thick El Greco acrylic paints.

Squeeze Out and Mix

Squeeze the paint onto a palette. You can paint straight from the tube or thin it with water. The less water you use, the thicker the paste and the more pronounced the tool marks.

Applying Acrylic Paint with a Palette Knife

Application

Apply with a palette knife or a brush with stiff bristles. The thick, creamy formula holds its shape and doesn’t run off the surface.

Building Texture

Build up layers and relief. The acrylic preserves the tool marks, giving you pronounced 3D effects and impasto.

Drying

The paint dries quickly and forms a satin, water-resistant finish once dry. Apply additional layers to a dry surface.

“I was looking for something very specific: a practical tube for carrying pre-prepared flip chart paper. I ordered one tube from Alza and it was useless. Too narrow and rigid. The one from Artmie is perfect.”
