Is the Mont Marte Signature Mixed Media Art Set good for beginners?

Yes , this is genuinely one of the best starting points available. Every medium is ready to use straight from the case with no preparation, no extra supplies, and nothing to figure out. The wooden case keeps everything organised, so you can pick up any medium and just start. For someone new to art who isn't sure which medium to focus on, this set removes that decision entirely.

What mediums are included in the 174pc set?

Oil pastels (54), felt tip markers (42), colour pencils (34), acrylic paint (12 × 12ml tubes), watercolour paint (12 × 12ml tubes), oil paint (12 × 12ml tubes), paint brushes (4 , 2 round, 2 flat), graphite pencils (2B and 4B), a pencil sharpener and an eraser. All stored in an included wooden carry case.

Can I mix the mediums together in the same artwork?

Absolutely , that's the whole point. Oil pastels layer over acrylic or watercolour washes. Colour pencils add fine detail on top of painted areas. Markers work for outlines and lettering over most surfaces. Mixed media is one of the most interesting creative practices there is, and this set gives you everything you need to experiment properly.

What age is this set suitable for?

Suitable for ages 8 and up. Great for older kids, teenagers, secondary students, adults returning to art, and creative hobbyists. It's also a popular gift for anyone who's curious about art but hasn't yet committed to a medium, because this covers all of them.

Does the set come in a case?

Yes , a wooden carry case with individual compartments for each medium type is included. Everything has its own place, stays organised, and you can take the whole set without repacking anything.

Is this set worth $119?

Price the mediums out separately and you'll reach $150–220 before you have a case to put anything in. At under 70 cents per piece across six creative mediums, the 174pc set is among the best-value complete art kits you can buy in Australia. Even customers who've owned art supplies for years consistently note the value when they see it all laid out.
