Professional, Studio, and Student levels of paints are at different price points, levels of lightfastness, pigments load, types of pigments used, and filler ratio. There’s a lot to consider and knowing when and how to use different paints helps you get the best bang for your buck.
There are many kinds of acrylic paints, many price points, many grades. All have their uses, and I go over it, as well as prep, clean-up, varnishing, substrates, etc.
I made this video in three parts as I explain and show how they differ.
Also about Acrylics, here are a few of my articles on Substack, if you would like to revisit them:
