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

Where other paints will hold its shape on a vertical surface, this will drip down. And Im not saying thats a bad thing. The flow has its perks, especially if you want thin lines. And it mixes easier. Personally, I really like its viscosity compared to thicker paints. It will obviously not be as opaque though, if youre trying to paint over something.

Paint is just fine

Great product! But the packaging is a little lackluster for shipping. Arrived leaking and paint was spilled on all my products in the shipment. Luckily I was able to pick up my package right away, clean everything off, and close the paint so it didn’t dry out. Not exactly the seller’s fault as the box was packed too loose, but it could help to seal the lid somehow.

Although the paint may be good the container was delivered damaged. The side was completely cracked and paint was everywhere.

For some reason, Burnt Umber is a popular color this year because I had a hard time finding it in my favorite medium, which is chalk paint & Ive even bought acrylic burnt umber & made my own chalk paint, but I couldnt find it for MONTHS locally so when I completely ran out I remembered Amazon! Lol! And again, my options were limited. I have other colors in this brand that I picked up along the way or people gave me, but Ive never used it. So, I gave it a try bci really needed to finish a bunch of projects I had already started & hoped it all matched. It came in pretty quickly and when it did, I got to work! I wasnt so sure bc it is rather thick for someone used to working with acrylic paint, but that was a nice surprise bc I usually thicken it with plaster of paris or powder! I mostly use Burnt Umber to make Faux rust or a grungy, old, rusty, rustic look and this paint was perfect for that! I also like to use Burnt Umber for my Faux chocolate... Like the little Chocolate Pudding dessert cups as seen in the Pic. It makes a perfect chocolate color esp if youre mixing it with a solid white medium! And because its a nice solid color and thick paint, it doesnt water the whole project down! If you are NOT a painter and are more of a crafter that sticks to mainly acrylic or chalk paint, dont be afraid to venture out of you are having a hard time finding a certain color. This paint, although Im sure more used for paintings, it works great for crafting too. I highly recommend and will Def be buying this brand more often in the future.

Exactly as described. Great vibrant color. Used in my outdoor pottery.

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.

Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paints are my go to brand. Just my tips take it or leave them: I get more black and white acrylic paint and shades of brown green and blue. Orange and Yellows a little less, but always on hand. Red, will last you forever if you are mixing your own colors. So red less and red, although I suppose what you paint makes a difference. I paint portraits and landscapes. All skin colors are ratios of blue, red, and yellow. So learn how to mix colors. Get a fan brush, a palate, and spatula and set of decent brushes. Im not going to say which brand of brushes, because I have my favs from different makers -cheap to expensive. Anyway, you cant go wrong with Liquitex Basics Acrylic paints. The color and texture and drying time is consistent and predictable. Oh, and get a water bottle to keep your palate colors moist. I use the baby food plastic, square containers to keep my mixed colors that I use a lot of for a project. or you can cover your palate with a plastic wrap. Anyway, peace!

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.

Perfect consistency
