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.

Its a well known fact that yellow pigments can be among the less strong, and these arent. The color is perfect, but it requires multiple coats to provide complete coverage. Even with the best quality brushes it doesnt actually go on the canvas evenly. If painting over a dark already painted background it will be even more difficult. I tried uploading a file from my iPhone but get message unsupported file. I prefer a thicker paint but these work well for what Im doing now - just take 3 - 4 coats and lots of time in between to dry.

Shipped fine, no leaks, paint in good condition for a natural pigment- meaning, its thick. I was afraid to order paint online but I wont worry about that now. Liquitex makes great paint.

Liquitex is an excellent paint for artists and I have even painted furniture with it. It has dependable quality and long lasting finish however, even though the packaging was intact when delivered there was a small crack in the bottom of the container and paint had leaked out. It was in a plastic bag (good thing ?) so I dont know if it was known if there was a crack in the bottom or not before shipping. I decided to keep it and tape it up as there was only a small amount leaked and I needed this larger size.. Hopefully this does not happen again.

I like how well it mixed with other colours from different paint brands.

It’s just a little more white tint than expected but still good.

Great quality paint. I always use this as a professional artist

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.

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

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