I wanna buy Acrylic paints

I have purchased some 12 x 12" canvases that i would like to paint some pictures on for my sons bedroom but i can't seem to find a decent price for a decent amount of paint that will last the 4 pictures. I am only really looking for primary colours (red, yellow, blue) and white, as i can mix the colours to get the other colours i would like.

Any idea where sells it for a decent price including postage?

  • Don't know anything about acrylic paint to be honest though you might like to have a look at Art Discount and Discount Art.

    You could also try The Works.

    By the way, both Quidco & Topcashback are offering 5% and 5.05% cashback for purchases with The Works if that makes any difference to you.

    Daughter gets thru loads of acrylic paint on her textiles course. Best place I've found for primary colours is Wilko's. Online only has the box of 12 for £2.05 but I find the bigger tubes sold individually in stores are great value.
