Basics Acrylics Colors

by Liquitex

Liquitex Basics are high quality, student grade acrylics. Affordably priced, they are perfect for beginners and for artists on a budget.

Each color is uniquely formulated to bring out the maximum brilliance and clarity of every pigment. They have a heavy viscosity and, like oils, paint thick, retaining peaks and brush marks. They provide great coverage and dry to a satin finish.

Rated by: Carol B. in Snowflake, AZ

I love these acrylics. I paint using liberal amounts, you could call me a "paint over user" .... the economical price saves me.

Rated by: G. S. in Berne, IN

I ordered supplies for my grandchild. Mister Art filled the order. completely and promptly. I am so pleased with their service. They even included a personal message for my grandchild who is in another state. He called me and said he loves the paints-- His mother called me to tell me it was great and everything arrived in good stead. As I have experienced all kinds of poor service from various suppliers, it was refreshing for Mister Art to get it right first time for me.

Rated by: vickie g. in geneva`, OH

i found the Basic acrylics quite nice, liked the color saturation and the value of the cost/size... cant be beat, I've looked at dozens of other sites and MisterArt.com has the best prices, delivery system, speed and reliability that I have encountered over 5 years of online ordering.

Rated by: Nan J. in Naples, FL

Liquitex Acrylics are just the thing for the artist in a budget. The bonus is they have great color definition and they allow your brush marks and other texturing to show clearly when they dry. They sure don't look budgetary when your work is completed!

Rated by: Margaret C. in Red Oak, TX

Thses acrylic paints are excellent and you can't go wrong with using these for your best paintings. Smooth, creamy and easy to spread.

Rated by: Gregg M. in Hingham, MA

Buying my daughters art supplies from Mister Art saved me over $30.00. Shopping was easy, I was updated by e-mail when my order shipped and received in a matter of days. I will buy again for sure.

I love to try new items and this one is great the color stays so true to its self try this one.

Rated by: adria W. in streamwood, IL

Good med it's a lot like oil paint

Rated by: Heather L. in New Orleans, LA

Excellent colour. Just what I needed. Because of student quality, the paints tend to be a little thin and transparent-- but that's to be expected!

Rated by: Emilia K. in West Milford, NJ

LIQUITEX Acrylic Color Basics Value Series - They are the best value - better coverage and opacity than others.

I am very much enjoying these paints for my personal use.

great for basic work. Silver is a bit thin, but gold is very consistent. I've been a fan of these for a while, and i love them even more with MisterArt.com's prices.

I love these paints. They work like a dream and are perfect Acrylics for any painter, whether you're a beginner or a qualified painter, Liquitex is an amazing brand for acrylics.

Rated by: Nicole B. in Birmingham, AL

I LOVE Liquitex Basics arcrylic paints, they're the best I've used so far. Cost effective and super fast shipping. They're so much thicker than other low-cost paints.

I am so very glad that I found MisterArt.com, as with most struggling artists we have to be carefull where we buy our supplies because of todays gas, food, rent prices, it hardly leaves us any cash to play with, MisterArt.com is a blessing! When i would purchase paint from a local craft store I would pay almost 4 dollers for 2oz. of paint and where I would purchase clay or glaze it costs a couple of bucks more too! It is worth shopping here at MisterArt and it's worth the shipping & handling, I still make out in the end and I love the french clays and other clays as well, well.. everything rocks! thank you so very much!!!

Great price on a great product. MisterArt is one of the best designed and operated sites, and their service and delivery is quick. I am really impressed.

Rated by: sean y. in san francisco, CA

The paints are ideal for watermedia effects, especially when applied as 50% diluted layers. The new artificial colors (such as the napthols) that Liquitex calls hues are, in fact, exciting new hues that artists (professional and otherwise) might consider.

Rated by: P W. in Hartford, CT

Good color selection for beginner paints with much more per tube than most "artist" quality colors, i.e. room for mistakes! 8) However, these are basic paints and so some provide less coverage and are less "creamy" than the higher grade Liquitex colors. Great value and best price around.

Rated by: christine F. in E.Bridgewater, MA

great color, love the price.

Rated by: Sarah S. in Fort Worth, TX

The paint arrived on time and in perfect condition. It is the same high quality product that I used to purchase for almost double at Hobby Lobby. The paint looks beautiful and has an easy workable texture. I will always buy my paints and supplies from MisterArt.com now.

Wonderful low price for the size! Worked out great for what I needed it for, just painting a few simple pics for my new home! Thanks =)

Rated by: kat r. in clemson, SC

Liquitex basics are an excellent value. Very nice for anything from washes to heavy impasto. versatile and affordable, don't skimp, and don't spend more than you should on paint just to get the name brand that sounds fanciest. Liquitex Basics are a high quality paint at a friendly price.

Rated by: barb s. in Hermosa Beach, CA

The Liquitex paint is fabulous! Tube size is bigger and better than any I have found locally. The paint quality is excellent. It flows easily from the tube and worked equally well with a palette knife or brush. Highly recommend this paint.

Rated by: Malinda B. in Tallahassee, FL

I was thrilled to receive my box of paints almost immediately. I loved the ease of ordering and the delivery. I was only sorry not to check my inventory, so I had to order more the next day! Who knew I used so much green! I am very happy with the Liquitex acrylics. Thanks.

Rated by: Paul Y. in Nashville, TN

Read MisterArt.com's decription; it is accurate. Great color density. Add Flow Release for slight drying delay & increased spread while remaining opaque. Dilutes and cleans up with water - low pallet-evident color shifts & good translucent effects. Excellent color blends, mixes and brush multi-loads. Oil effects without the solvent fumes or disposal concerns. Buy a big soft brush with the money you save - it's fab!

Rated by: Katherine N. in Ypsilanti, MI

I swear by this stuff. It's cheap and of good quality. It will take a lot for me to switch to a different acrylic paint

Rated by: Steve R. in Santa Barbara, CA

I like the value I get with Liquitex, I sometimes use the more expensive paints and find there is not much difference in the quality.

Rated by: Hayley J. in ss, MD

This is a great student paint being affordable and lasts quite awhile. It is not as thick as some of the other brands out there, but it is all up to personal taste.

Great product for those of us who like a less heavy-bodied paint. Flows well. Easy cleanup. Mixes easily.

excellent coverage and viscosity for "Basic" acrylic paint - very good pigment and the paint holds up well to a variety of applications and painting styles. A really good value for the money, especially in the 32 ounce size.

I like the texture and coverage of the Liquitex. The creaminess leaves you time to mix colors.

Rated by: Linda W. in San Fransisco, CA

Great paints for a beginner or more. For the price you cannot beat it.

Rated by: Wade F. in Shakopee, MN

I love Liquitex in general, and Basics are great for starting out and experimentation, as well as student work. I'm taking a painting class, and instead of spending $100 on 2 oz. tubes I spent around $40 for twice the paint. They have a thick consistency (except the greens) and colors are bright and consistent. Excellent paint for the money.

Rated by: R M. in Troy, AL

Fell in love with this site immediately. Best prices on the net, quick shipping(soundly packed), Huge selection. All around satisfied

I was so used to buying my art supplies from local warehouse retailers, I never thought that I could find a better company online! Liquitex acrylics are the best that I have used so far, very vivid colors, great coverage on canvas- a little goes a long way! And what a great deal! The warehouse retailer I used to buy from sells this large size tube for almost $8.00 each! I will never shop anywhere else!

LIQUITEX Basics Acrylics Colors have a superb selection of colors. The pigment is bright and rich. Is as good as many of the more expensive acrylic paints on the market. Great deal for the money. Highly recommend.

Rated by: John S. in Gulfport, FL

Great paints at a great value. I have tried others, but these spread and mix the best. Why pay more for less quality?

Rated by: Lee S. in Greensboro, NC

I've tried "HQ professional" grade paints, such as Golden, Liquitex hi vis and many others. I always come back to Liquitex BASICS! WHY? Simply b/c the formula works best for my multilayers, glazing and easy mixing. Though I'm aware of the higher pigment loads of "pro" grades, some of the high viscosities are "gunky/sticky" for my methods. For highly textured work using a knife, I can be generous with the application of BASICS. LOVE the HUGE JARS! The colors are fantastic! They hold brush strokes too with brights for an "oil" appearance. I love the new "improved" formula, better than ever. This may be "student" grade but it is my preferred brand thus far and the "standard" to which I compare other brands against. I will continue to use BASICS until/unless I find a brand that performs better for me.

Great paint, and it is a good value for a student painter. I find I am willing to paint more since I do not have to be so concerned about the cost.

Rated by: Adrienne W. in New Orleans, LA

An affordable yet good paint. It is a tad on the transparent side, but that actually gives you more options for working with it. If you use a lot of paint, or just can't afford the fancy, small tube stuff, this is the way to go!
