Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paint Set – 48 x 36 ml Tubes

48-colour acrylic paint set Australia | creamy, fast-drying | beginner-friendly price

Need a mega palette without blowing the art budget? The Mont Marte Signature Acrylic Paint Set – 48 x 36 ml provides a wall-to-wall lineup of vibrant colours in easy-squeeze tubes, ready for use on canvas, craft boards, paper projects, air-dry clay builds, and more. The paint’s smooth, creamy medium-body viscosity levels beautifully, offers good coverage, and dries to a modern semi-matte finish that plays nicely with mixed media. A fast dry time lets you stack layers quickly (less mud, more momentum), which makes this set a ripper for studios, school art rooms and weekend project bins. Clean-up is a breeze: warm soapy water while wet—no solvents needed. With 48 colours on tap, you can block backgrounds, mix custom hues, or dive straight into detail without constant remixing or hunting extra tubes. Art Shed tested. Ready when you are.

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.
