The Expansion Set is exactly what is missing after the Basic Set. Instead of more primaries it brings intermediates – earthy browns, a turquoise, a jade green, an ice blue and two metallics. These are the tones you would mix most often, now ready-made.

Does it overlap with the Basic Set?
Not in a single shade. The two sets were designed to give twenty-four different colours together.
Which set is better to start with?
The Basic Set. The Expansion Set assumes you already have primaries – on its own you would be missing a clean red and blue.
How do I thin these paints?
With water or an Ionic thinner. They are self-hydrating, so they stay workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop for brush work, roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.
Is the set better value than single jars?
If you need at least half the shades, yes – the set costs less than the same number of individual jars. If you are missing only two, buy them separately in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
The other sets are in the Ionic sets category.
