Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint, 250ml (8.5-oz) Tube, Titanium White

Great Brand period. The paint is nice and thick, opaque, dries quickly, and goes a long ways. Use your imagination and paint a pathway from your heart to reality with quality acrylic paint.

I bought this paint as a comparison between Winsor & Newton and Liquitex professional and student paints. In order to compare I did a simple gradient test to find the truest and birghtest color when mixed with white. I find it important to note that the professional Winsor and Newton uses the same pigments as the Liqutex student paint. I found that Winsor and Liquitex professional pains have the same degree of pigment saturation. However Liquitex professional had the brightest color when mixed with white. Liquitex student paint was only slightly duller than the professional and a closer comparison to Winsor professional. The Winsor student paint was not phthalo blue as I expected and had a very strong green shade. By all standards Liquitex professional was the best paint by being true to the expected color, having a high degree of pigment saturation, and remaining bright after being mixed with white. Winsor professional and Liquitex student tie for second though price would put Liquitex ahead. Winsor professional had a higher saturation but was not as bright when mixed with white and compared to Liquitex student. Winsor student pain comes in dead last by an long shot. The paint is the completely wrong color though its pigmentation states that it should be the same as Liquitex professional. The degree of saturation is far less that any of the other paints and it is greatly dulled by the white paint. Final rankings: 1. Liquitex professional 2. Liquitex student 3. Winsor & Newton professional 4. great dissapointment 5. Winsor & Newton Student I will be buying Liquitex paints for my art. I believe that Liquitex BASICS is the best value per $ as long as the paintings are not intended to be sold by an art gallery.

Two 4oz. Tubes of Hookers Green acrylic paint were shipped on a box with two heavy blocks of canvas board. Two air pillows were included to prevent shifting. They popped and the tubes were badly chrushed. You need to know that air pillows are Inadequate protection. I’m out couple of ounces of paint and a brand new manicure. You owe me.

Some brands need more than one coat, not this gesso. One coat covers well, dries relatively fast. Oh and manufactured in France, not China as mentioned in description.

Paint is just fine

I love this color, and it has worked well for me in doing acrylic pours. The jar did come with the seal busted and leaking a bit of paint. Luckily it wasn’t horribly busting out of the seams, so the loss was minimal and not worth a return or anything. I did order 5 other colors of this size (not necessarily from the same sellers), and those were all fine. That was the only issue I had, which could have been caused by multiple things - from how it was packed, to how it was assembled/sealed in factory etc. I debated taking a star off for this issue, but decided that the rating is really about the paint. Just be aware that shipping something like paint could result on this kind of issue. The paint itself is a beautiful color and I would highly recommend if you are looking for a dark, rich purple for acrylic pours. The viscosity of Liquitex Basics is reasonably heavy bodied, though not as much so as some brands. It is technically not a professional line, so keep that in mind. I think it would do well enough in brush/palette knife painting, but that’s not really my speed, so I can’t say for sure.

Good quality paint! Even works on glass. It Goes and thick and stays, and dries fast!

This black paint is wonderful! The photo I took was with one coat over a white model horse and it looks amazing! Its thick and becomes tacky relatively fast so I have to work with it quickly but I love it. It goes on very smooth and dries with a nice satin finish.

This is EXACTLY the color I was looking for

Not a quality paint. Plus it came loose in the box and the paint exploded and was on everything else in the box. The lid is painted shut so the only way to use it was to break the lid.
