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

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.

Ah, in the old days acrylic paint was substantial and very thick. Now, even the heavy body acrylics are so full of water and suspension that it takes a ton of practice to find out how much you need to mix colors with any accuracy. Semi-transparent. Sloshy. Soup-like is a slight exaggeration but not by much.

product came in a timely manner, one product was ok the other was totally unusable paint was all dried out was like a sponge couldnt even get it out of the tube. I refuse to pay shipping to return an unusable product. They did make it right by sending me a new tube which was good.

The paint goes on my canvas so smooth not to mention it feels and looks so beautiful on my paint brushes thank you:)

My first try at Flowe painting. Turned out fantastic. The color flows very nicely.

Goes on well and stays on

The paint did not cover pencil marks on canvas.

I love liquitex basics .The colours zre so vibrant and its so easy to paint with.However I was able to stock up. Joanns had them available for $5.00 and Amazon does not do price match.

I like to paint with Jesse Robertson and I get new colors according to which painting I’m doing next. I find that, even though these are basic, they provide great coverage and colors. And since I’m not a pro and selling anything the price is right too!
