36-colour acrylic paint set Australia | smooth, fast-drying | budget-friendly studio workhorse

Looking for a colour arsenal that sits comfortably between a basic starter kit and a 48-tube mega set? The Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paint Set – 36 x 36 ml gives you a broad spectrum of vibrant hues in easy-squeeze tubes—perfect for canvas, cardboard, paper crafts, wood panels, air-dry clay models and more. Each colour delivers a smooth, creamy medium-body consistency, offers good coverage, and dries to a contemporary semi-matte finish that welcomes mixed-media overlays. The quick dry time means you can build layers rapidly without muddying; great for studios, classrooms and weekend project bins. Clean-up? Warm soapy water while paint is wet—no solvents, no fuss. With 36 shades on deck you can block bold backgrounds, mix nuanced tones or dive straight into detail without constantly remixing or hunting extra tubes.

FAQs

Do Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paints need extra gesso on canvas?
Most pre-stretched canvases come primed; you can paint straight on. Add Mont Marte Gesso Primer - Clear Texture Gesso 250ml only if you want more tooth or a specialty ground.

Can Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paints be used for pouring?
Yes—mix the paint with the pouring medium until the flow feels right and always test viscosity before a full pour.

Are Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paint colours light-fast?
The Signature range suits hobby and classroom work. For archival or gallery pieces, swatch-test or step up to the Premium Artist line, which carries higher light-fast ratings.

Will Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paints crack on slick surfaces without Primer?
Smooth plastics and sealed wood need a light key or adhesion primer first; then seal the finished work with a flexible acrylic varnish to prevent cracking.

What’s the best varnish to keep the semi-matte look of Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paints?
Use Mont Marte Signature Gloss Finishing Acrylic Varnish 250ml for a glassy look or Mont Marte Acrylic Medium - Matte 250ml to protect colour while maintaining a low-sheen finish.
