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

Goes on well and stays on

Love it

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

Do you know what they say about people who have purple as a favorite color? Its almost a cult-like obsession with the color. Red fans, Blue fans, even pink fans are like, I prefer this color, but those of us who love Purple.... REALLY... freaking love Purple. As such, this paint can do no wrong. I actually use this brand in multiple colors and this was the second batch I bought in this particular shade due to running out mid project.

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.

This is good paint. There is better paint for more money, because there always is. And there is also horrible paint, because there always is. Like this starter set I ordered for my daughter just because I was cheap, and thought it will do for a kid. Boy was I wrong. Toothpaste is more vibrant than what we got there. You can go super fancy with artist paint. Some buy expensive, some mix their own with pigments, some make their own pigments, some are beyond paint because art is just an illusion and manifestation is not needed. Did I lost you? Hang on and please finish reading before you start searching for ‘Toothpaste Art’. I’m using this paint because it gives me the freedom to try things out. I’m not selling paintings anymore. What I paint goes either on my own walls or is gifted to friends. So the elders of art-materials won’t give me the look for using ordinary products. You can smear half a tube around without breaking the bank. Some colors don’t cover good enough for tiny details, but any stroke wider than a finger will work. The darker it gets, the better the opacity. Black is killing it, and I’m using it on so many things. I dilute it with water and isopropyl alcohol to dye wood on a budget, or straight out of the tube to black out paper, cardboard, or one dollar notebooks. So click a few colors into the shopping cart and spread the love. What I learned: You will be surprised how good kid’s art can look using proper paint. Parental guidance required. I hope it helps to make a decision.

This is less about the product and more about the fact that it was used.

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!

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.

Must buy!! Looks gorgeous alone. Blends beautifully
