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

We had this plaster fish that was just a dull white. We decided to paint it and I think the irredescent white looks so much better.

I use liquatex on all my models and dioramas. It’s a good quality acrylic latex paint and a good value!

The paint arrived fully shrink wrapped and undamaged. :D

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.

This is EXACTLY the color I was looking for

This is a wonderful color. Its beautiful when you make it lighter along with its a good base to start mixing to make different colors of blue

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!

Liquitex is my go to paint. This however is not what I call a true red, more of a raspberry color.

I love this brand in general and this white is the one that takes the least amount of effort. This only takes a couple of Coates to be fully opaque which is fantastic compared to most white paints that take 4-5 Coats for the same coverage.

If you are a beginning painter then you are going to use a lot of paint. This is a beautiful, primary blue, and I use it in nearly every painting that I do. I have some $50+ per tube paints, and this relatively modestly priced paint does just as good a job for what I need. The lower price also helps me feel free to experiment a bit and try different techniques without worrying about am I wasting precious resources. I love the coverage and the depth of hue. All in all, this is an excellent choice for a beginning or student paint set.
