Reason For Buying

I had an introduction set of 22ml tubes of these from YEARS ago, that I bought for my late father. I love using them, so I bought this set to expand my pallet. I wanted a reliable quality acrylic paint, which would give me plenty of options for finished results and styles of painting.

Daler Rowney Cryla Acrylic Paint

Pros/Cons

Pros

• Artist quality Paint
• Large colour pallet to choose from including metallic and interference colours
• Large range of mediums to mix with the paint to create different effects and finishes
• Well known established manufacturer & brand
• Heavy Body Acrylic gives lots of possibilities for finishes

Cons

Haven’t really got any, there is still some smell, until the paint dries, but it is minimal with these paints. MUCH less than the System 3s that I had trouble with.

Build Quality

 Superb quality and very reliable.

Value for Money

Excellent! This is a top quality reliable paint that is worth the investment. The tubes are metal and look like they will last well. If you are confused by the pricing I quoted at the top of the review, the prices vary dependant on the pigment used in the paint. There are four different series of colours grouped by price, at the time of writing they are as follows

• Series A; £5.95
• Series B; £6.50
• Series C; 8.75
• Series D; £10.95

To see the full colour pallet available and which colour will fall into which price band, please visit the manufacturer’s website, which I’ll link to at the end.

Would I buy it Again?

Yes, these are superb.

Summing up

I love the quality and versatility of the Cryla range. It blends and mixes beautifully and with the addition of the mediums you have a huge range of options for how the paint looks and performs. Well worth the price and I highly recommend it to you all.
