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

I LOVE THE LIQUITEX PYRROLE RED PAINT IT IS THE BRIGHTEST AND MOST COLORFUL RED THAT I LOVE TO USE WHEN PAINTING PICTURES THAT I WANT TO HAVE A TRUE RED COLOR TONE TO THE PAINTING. MOST RED PAINTS ARE DULL, LIFELESS AND OTHER VARIATIONS OF THE COLOR RED BUT PYRROLE RED IS MY HAPPY RED BECAUSE ITS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT MY RED PAINTINGS TO LOOK LIKE. ITS NOT DULL RED, OFF RED, DARK RED, PINKISH RED ETC ITS JUST A TRUE RED AND THE LIQUITEX PAINT GLIDES SO FREELY AND SMOOTHLY ON MY CANVASES. IVE BEEN PAINTING FOR YEARS AND ALTHOUGH OTHER BRANDS OF ACRYLIC PAINTS HAVE COLOR REDS NONE OF THEM COMES CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL COLOR RED LIKE PYRROLE RED BY LIQUITEX!

The color was pretty vibrant. Very pleased with this purchase and the price.

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.

The paint arrived fully shrink wrapped and undamaged. :D

I am too old for gel all the time. Sometimes I just need to smooth and calm my crazy hair. This gives me a nice smooth finish with a healthy sheen. Not greasy

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.

Abstract art

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!

The paint did not cover pencil marks on canvas.

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.
