Testing Sennelier Abstract Acrylic Paints in my Sketchbook

I've been wanting to upgrade my acrylic paints for over a year, because I couldn't decide what would be better. Professional grade paints or student grade paints. Is it worth going straight to professional paints when I might not be ready for them? Or will I outgrow student quality paints too quickly and have to upgrade in a couple of months?
My research informed me that Sennelier Abstract acrylic paints are at a great price point and are a quality between student and professional.
So I took the plunge and bought a 5 pack.
Today I am testing these new paints in my sketchbook and they are a huge step up from my old 'reject shop' paints.
I am looking forward to working with these more and I hope you'll join me in the future.

A pretty good colour range from these. A primary yellow, two blues, two reds and a burnt umber and white is all anyone needs really. That will reach every color. The magenta, primary yellow and cyan colour wheel gets pretty to a full range but it’s not quite every colour

Interesting. I might investigate which red and blue to get to complete my colours. I think burnt umber should be easy to find ☺️ I did look for magenta and cyan but they seem harder to find.

@@pigeonart magenta and cyan are not needed, stick with the list @paulwoodford1984 listed

A terrific paint, equals Golden in my opinion

@pigeonart 6 месяцев назад

Interesting. I’ve never used golden paints but i do see them all over RU-vid. It would be great to do comparisons one day. But it took me 2 years to finally decide to buy these ones so it could be a while!

I believe it’s a Scarlet Macaw. These paints are so neat. Did your set come with the different nozzles? In America you can find them at Michael’s, as well as many other online options. I bought mine at Michael’s and used one of their 50% off coupons and some rewards points so I got them for a fraction of their list price. I just recently added them to my art supplies but haven’t given them a proper test quite yet.

Hi! I didn’t know they could come with different nozzles. I only have the one type of nozzles on mine. What a bargain! We don’t get coupons in Australia. But the shops do seem to be constantly advertising sales so it probably evens out. Hope you enjoy our new paints. Let me know once you’ve tested them how they are for you :)

Thank you for conducting the testing! Have you experimented with Vallejo or Amsterdam expert paints? How do you find their quality compared to other professional brands?

@pigeonart 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. I haven’t experimented with any other quality paints at all. Up until now, I’ve been using cheap Reject Shop paints. Obviously, anything would be better than those, so I can’t compare the Abstract Senneliers to other Student Grade and Professional Grade paints. This is potentially something I can do in the future, but my paint budget is small as I am a tiny unmonitised channel at the moment.
