Five Star Reviews: | 75% SO MANY COLORS. June 16, 2017 Okay, when I first got it, I didn't realize it had as many colors as it did.My wife is an artist and she paints a lot. (Although I'm colorblind and a lot of them look the same) she says the variation in color is extremely good, and she considers it one of the best painting sets you can buy.The tubes come in these racks and apparently, there is a rack devoted to metallic colors.The tubes also come in order from lightest to darkest shade.The paint is high quality and is very nice to paint with. Awesome starter pack June 3, 2017 I do a lot of mixed media memorial canvases for grieving parents. One of the things i always run into problems with, is paints. I have tried craft acrylic paint, walmart and michaels acrylic brands of paint. The craft paint usually cracks while drying, and both the walmart and michaels brands are clumpy. So when i saw this starter pack, i thought i would give it a try. Wow what a difference. The paint goes on smoothly, dries without cracking or clumping. The colors are rich and not thinned out, and the paint comes ready to use. I highly recommend these paints Recommended May 27, 2017 Honestly a fantastic deal. About 3/4 of an oz each of the entire palette (including the more expensive colors), for about what the larger tubes cost by volume. Great starter set or ideal way to sample before investing in the larger tubes. Perfect to experiment with if you're learning how to mix color.This is good midrange quality paint. Vibrant pigments, no odor, silky texture, and dries beautifully. Great paint. Used this same set when I was ... April 14, 2017 Great paint. Used this same set when I was younger and got for my girlfriend as she's into painting and I also grabbed a 12 pack of smaller canvases here in AmazonOnly thing you may need .Ore if is white as it's used to lighten all the colors and black to darken all of them. But the tubes will last a while :-) Great quality product, with excellent color choices. Will definitely order a 2nd set! January 2, 2017 The set is a great starter set, travel set, or for more advanced artist. The color selections are great, and the quality is good.I bought this for my teenage daughter, who enjoys painting. We had never tried this brand, but she was very pleased with it. I love the sizes, they're perfect for travel. She loves to paint at our cabin, which happens to be 14hrs away, so the convenience of these are wonderful for travel.I will probably buy her another set to keep there. Now that she's tried this brand, she'll likely buy the larger sizes in her most used colors.I highly recommend this set. And zip found Amazon to have the best selection and cost. An Acrylic Artist Paint starter set June 16, 2013 I purchased this set for my adult daughter. This is a complete set of accurate colors for most acrylic paintings, and they can be applied to almost every surface, including permanent adhering to cloth. These are their "Basics" set, so there are a lot of hues (Hue will be in the color name on the tube), rather then single pigment paints. It is an excellent set for the beginning painter. Besides brushes, they'll need a small bottle of Matt and Gloss Mediums. Avoid thinning with water, since that weakens the paint. Use Medium. Keep in mind that many of the paints are "Hues" of a named color. Hues are made up of more than one color pigment to mimic the more expensive pure pigments. Consequently, when creating a color by mixing "hues," the color doesn't always turn out the way expected. Also, note that acrylic paints dry quickly, so if you are experienced with oil paints where you load you pallet with lots of colors, they'll dry very quickly. (To continue work on painting still wet, use a hair dryer, or simply place the painting in the sun.) Use only the paint(s) needed for painting during your session. That's another reason for so many colors in the set, since repeating a color mixed on your painting, it's better to use, if possible, a single paint from the tubes. Also, each tube is marked to indicate whether it is opaque, transparent, or translucent. Rule One until you are experience painting with acrylics, avoid mixing opaque with the transparent or translucent paint. The opaque will usually overtake the transparent properties: mix opaques together, transparent paint and sometimes, translucent together. Experiment with a small bit when trying to achieve a color not included in the set. And one final note for oil painters not experienced with acrylic, acrylic paints are polymers, and once they quickly dry on top of acrylic paint, they form a molecular bond, which is forever. No way to remove the color on top. White is your friend in this case. Paint over with white, then apply whatever color you wish. Unlike oil paint, it is permanent. | 75% Perfect for frequent painters July 1, 2017 Originally I had bought a jar for a one-time class I was teaching, knowing they would need a decent amount of white. I had plenty left over and I've been using it since, although I use the pricier paints for my colors. For whites for mixing this is perfect. I paint sometimes multiple pieces per week. I often use a LOT of white to mix or on its own. I highly recommend this if you aren't wanting to break the bank. these are all great acrylics. we used them to paint untreated canvas May 24, 2017 fabulous, these are all great acrylics. we used them to paint untreated canvas, worked like a charm, but should have treated canvas first, paint really got into canvas and even soaked through to table. Liquitex BASICS Acryolic Paint May 7, 2017 All painters know that you need lots and lots of white paint. This is an outstanding price. I couldn't find a better price at a brick and mortar in the area, so I purchased this. Highly recommend. A great value acrylic paint March 21, 2017 I've ordered quite a few colors of Liquitex BASICS. The colors are vibrant and easy to apply. Being an amateur artist I go trough a ton of paint. The size of these tubes and their low cost make this a good value and encourage experimentation. Great! November 10, 2016 I love the packaging on these. Keeps the paint from getting dry or exposed like in regular cans/bottles. Just squirt and use! :) The only paint I will use from now on September 23, 2016 This paint goes on canvas like a dream. I've been previously using cheap-o brand acrylic paints. Any other artist I knew told me to use Liquitex Basics brand but I never believed that paint could make such a difference. I regret not purchasing it earlier. So easy to paint on canvas with and did not destroy my brushes at all. It was very easy to clean off. Will be purchasing different colors very soon. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 13% Pretty Great! September 6, 2017 I would give it 5 stars but for some reason it doesn't work well in the airbrush kit that I bought and I've seen videos of people using water and acrylic paint mixed and it works perfectly fine. I'm not sure if it's the airbrush or the paint but I'm leaning more towards how thick the paint is. I'd still give it 4 stars though because it's got a GREAT variety of paint and the boxing and packaging is nicely done! Handy And Easy To Use May 13, 2016 Decent variety of colors here- and the good thing about painting with acrylics is they clean with water and if you make a mistake, once dry you can just paint right over it with no harm done- and these paints don't need the toxic cleaning agents oil paintings do- and unlike oil these paints will dry over night or faster. They are a little thinner than I would like and they are also mostly transparent colors May 23, 2015 I bought these for a college painting class. I have artist quality acrylic paints but I needed a fairly large supply of paint for the course and this was the most reasonable way to get it. These paints are okay. They are a little thinner than I would like and they are also mostly transparent colors. Not exactly what I wanted but other than that they aren't bad paints. Just be aware of what you are getting.These will work fine for the class (in fact it's what the instructor uses in class for demonstrations), and when I'm done with the class I will use them up for under paintings and the like. These would be PERFECT paints for a child to start painting with, or for a crafts person who was looking for a decent quality acrylic paint to use for crafts projects, or just a hobbyist painter.If nothing else the titanium white is good, and you can get a HUGE tube for very little money, same with the black. I may skip buying better black and white acrylics and just get the Liquitex Basics black and white, and save some $$. Liquitex Basics delivers quality paints January 30, 2012 I am happy with this purchase. It was what I expected and more. They are quality paints, are a good size (not the tiny tube that doesn't last) and the box brings a vast viriety of colors, which is perfect for when you always need to be mixing to get the color you want. I would buy it again if I needed more, and would certainly recommend it, both to amateurs and professional painters. | 14% it was a great buy as a lightning deal July 31, 2017 the wife says it works well for her, it was a great buy as a lightning deal! I would recommend this product. June 21, 2017 Love the plastic tube. The aluminum ones get gunked up on the end and, if I agressively try to remove the dried paint on them, I scratch off the threads that allow the "plastic" top to screw on. The paint is as good as any and I would recommend this product. nice paint June 21, 2017 You do not want to run out of black paint and this is a good paint at a reasonable price. Covers very well. Good product April 19, 2017 I actually ordered color this by accident so I haven't used it yet but I will eventually. I have this product in other colors so I know it will be great. Like it very much April 6, 2017 Like it very much. I paint on fabric. I tend to have waste not knowing how much to squeeze out and you can't put back what is not used. pretty dang good paint February 28, 2017 Liquitex has always been a good brand of paint... it works for most Art and Crafting projects... the paint it self however can get a bit low on pigment... which my own personal painting style I like a heavy pigmented paint... Liquitex is almost there but not quite as good as I would like for it to be... still it's hard to go wrong with this brand... | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 7% I was very disappointed since this was supposed to be new and unopened November 10, 2016 It's my first time ordering Liquitex paint online, but I was really excited buy this basic set. Unfortunately, when it came in the mail, the box packaging itself was torn and one of the tubes of paint looked tampered with. The tube was slightly compressed with dried paint around the cap and sides. I was very disappointed since this was supposed to be new and unopened.Other than that, the paint is great. I love the quality vs affordability of Liquitex and it wouldn't deter me from buying more products, but I might just stick to the store this time. It is a "Basic" quality set of acrylic paints and for the very reasonable price ....a good buy. September 9, 2016 It is a nice product for the price and gives one a nice variety of colors. I am used to more full body pigment paints and so I found these "basic" quality paints a little different to work with in respect to obtaining the depth or richness of color I wanted in some areas. However this product filled my immediate needs at the time and I am pleased therefor with this purchase!! Also I find that some of the colors are just fine for depth etc. and I only need to purchase specific colors in the much more expensive paints.......happy about that! Cheap, but might not buy again. July 28, 2016 These would cost twice as much at a local store. I am so glad I got them on amazon.Update: now that I have used all of the colors, I noticed that some of them are watery and some are chunky. I can't really use the chunky paint, so it is a waste. Not all of the colors mix well. The blue and the yellow turn into a very murky green. Like bottom of the swamp green. Good variety set, but not the best quality February 14, 2016 This is a good variety set if you don't want to mix colors yourself, but I deducted some stars because one paint tube was completely empty. The tubes themselves are pretty small (22ml / 0.74oz), so I would recommend these as a supplement to white and the primaries. Unfortunately I found the quality of a number of the paints is poor unlike their counter part 118 ml (4oz May 3, 2015 The acrylic paint set arrived well inside the estimated delivery date and well protected in it's packaging. Unfortunately I found the quality of a number of the paints is poor unlike their counter part 118 ml (4oz.) tubes that I can buy individually locally. These paints... particularly the brown colours but also a number of greens amongst odd others, were stringy, lumpy and gluggy and very unsatisfying to use. Out of all of them only the yellows, oranges and most of the reds had the same lovely smooth quality of the 118ml tubes I've bought. In my part of the world, the price for this set, even with the shipping cost, was still much cheaper then I could get locally and I still feel despite the poor quality of some of the paints it was worth it for the ones that are okay to use on the balance of things. My advice is if you can afford better then do so or be happy with a 36 piece set with only 24 okay paints. Some good, some bad. January 3, 2015 This paint is very good and it covers very well. I like the paint very much. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts is because several of the tubes appear to be old and clumpy. The clumps are virtually impossible to remove no matter how long and well they are mixed. Therefore when certain colors are applied to the canvas the picture comes out with little clumps of paint. The price would be considered to be a very good price if all the tubes had fresh paint in them without so many clumps. I would have returned this item if I had not used so much of the good paint before I came across the tubes with clumps in them. My guess would be approximately half of the tubes have this bad consistency. | 3% Not sure if this was used before, but it is good paint. September 30, 2017 For some reason, this paint had been opened and the lid was loose. There is normally a small cover that you have to peel off to be able to get at the paint. Cover had been removed. As soon as I took it out of the package, the lid came off and I got paint on my hands. Was this used before? Not sure. But any other paint I have bought has been completely sealed. Other than that. It's good paint. I spent last night and this morning finishing up a painting and this has dried nicely. It mixes well too. If you are going to sell used paint, drop the price. But paint should come completely sealed so as not to dry out. An old tube? January 9, 2017 Bought few different colors all were fine but the yellow paint was bubbly inside and watery had to trash it. That's why I give it only 3 stars.I use this brand all the time and that was the first time I experienced that, maybe a very old tube?!! I guess buying from the Internet instead of the stored it comes with that risk. economical October 15, 2014 the texture is kinda pastey but it covers well, mixes well, doesn't dry out too quickly. I'm not sure how it ages... I'll try to keep posted if there's anything I notice. It's really nice for a cheaper version of the "professional" stuff. Highly recommend, and I've sold a few works so I guess that makes me a professional :).* update;I have found the lack of pigment to base of this product frustrating. I'm buying the professional, more expensive version to remedy. It is economical, but mixing etc... is annoying. Changed my four stars to three. Lower pigmentation - prefer Liquitex Professional Soft Body over Basics June 28, 2014 This is a qualified three star because Liquitex is a very good company. However, the "Basics" paints do not have a lot of pigmentation in it compared to the Professional line of Liquitex paints, which is why it's cheaper. I plan to use this as a backwash paint for canvases or for projects that don't require a great deal of white pigmentation. I also think it could compromise the quality of the pro paints if mixing with Basics. It is soft and smooth, very easy to use, but I wanted to qualify it. I prefer the Liquitex Professional Soft Body line. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 2% I learned my lesson. May 27, 2017 I tried to use these for a while to stretch my money; the heavy body is expensive. However, the Basics Acrylic Paint is too thin to be opaque and the colors are not vivid. I generally love Liquitex paints September 6, 2016 I generally love Liquitex paints. Unfortunately, this paint-it kit arrived and while it seems like a really good deal and has a lot of cool and handy stuff all in one kit - my paints were curdled and un-usable and the pallet knife seem a bit warped so it was catching on my canvas and making things difficult as I was painting. So, unfortunately, this kit must have been improperly stored and half of it became unusable for me. So...I can't give it a good review. :( good paints but i just assumed the primaries would actually ... April 24, 2016 good paints but i just assumed the primaries would actually be the primariesthey all had weird tones to them and were not true primaries which meant any color i might want to mix would not turn out rightnot to mention i didn't get a purple, just a weird blue greenmaybe I'm too picky about the colors but as a painter who actually needs the primary colors to be legit primary colors i do not recommend thisthe black is very nice though Received two dried-up tubes! Others were nothing special, but mostly okay. October 1, 2015 I have used Liquitex products before with favorable results, so purchased these with confidence that they would be equally good. Unfortunately, either Liquitex has gone down a notch or two in quality or I got a bad batch. Two of the included tubes (Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber) were almost entirely dried up (just thick, completely unusable lumpy paste) and a couple others (Cadmium orange and yellow) were clearly heading the same direction -- not lumpy, but definitely not the creamy texture they should have been. So... out of a box of 12 I got 8 I could use. (If there is a Liquitex representative monitoring these reviews, I would like to say that customer service goes a long way toward earning good reviews, and free replacements of your defective paints might earn you another star or two.) Those tubes that I could use were fine. Not the super-high quality paint that you expect from the expensive brands, but very serviceable for the price -- the texture is creamy and of the right consistency to flow well without being too runny. These are perfect student paints or for anyone who likes to dabble with arts and crafts. Torn love July 22, 2015 As most customers have said, its not as opaque as I feel paint should be. I had to paint multiple layers just to cover up some pencil marks on a canvas i was painting. I wanted to love the paint cause of its color options but the transparency really destroys the value that you think are getting. I already used up half a tube trying to get the colors to come out solid. It's nice having all the different colors to choose from but ... May 30, 2015 Two stars because the photos show full size tubes of paint and the tubes are actually quite small. It's nice having all the different colors to choose from but there isn't much paint in the tubes. I like the Liquitex paints and am able to get them from the hardware store in my neighborhood. | 3% I was disappointed at how thick the paint was September 6, 2017 I was disappointed at how thick the paint was. I use basics quite often and it is usually a thinner consistency. For personal use I don't mind but I was teaching a paint night and it really put a damper on it. It seemed like old paint so I won't be ordering again. Read the title! February 3, 2017 My own damn fault but when I saw the picture I though I was ordering all four colors... Didn't read the title that says it's only one tube of black paint... With that being said the paint is good! Ordered Mars Black and received ivory black, January 12, 2017 Ordered Mars Black and received ivory black, however the printed label stated mars black and the tube was ivory black didnt work that great for me November 15, 2014 The paint was very clumpy when I open it, It was still usable, but was very hard to work with. I am not sure if this is something I did or not, I had left it sitting un-opened on my desk for about 2 weeks before using it, but I feel like paint should not act like this so quickly. I wish I could give it like 2.5 stars, Its like just barely not acquitted. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 3% I had heard so many good things, don't know if I got a bad ... August 6, 2017 I couldn't give this product zero stars, unfortunately. I had heard so many good things, don't know if I got a bad batch (all 48 tubes?), but I would never waste my money on this product again. Crappy containers April 24, 2015 I have been buying these paints for years and they have started to explode out the back of the tube. I contacted the company and they refuse to fix the isse. initially they will work and then..bam out the back the paint comes and makes a huge mess. LUMPY AND DRIED OUT February 6, 2015 About 25% of the colors is very lumpy and dried in the tube. Would never buy this again. | 5% Do not waste your money October 7, 2017 I bought 2 of these. both came out chunky and unusable. Do not waste your money Dried out and more like cottage cheese than paint when delivered August 21, 2017 Dried out and more like cottage cheese than paint when delivered. Tried to improve its painting potential by watering it down a little and probably ruined it. Crap May 23, 2017 Do not buy. It's so transparent, you need 4 coats to cover anything. Very unhappy customer. Soapy consistency. Wron formula for art paint. January 18, 2017 Soapy paint. Not useful for project when using spatula is needed. Mostly for small pieces with fine brushes. DON'T buy this in the jar, buy the tubes instead January 15, 2017 I love Liquitex Basics acrylics and use them all the time - in the TUBES. I ordered this jar because I wanted to mix a fairly large amount of a custom color and thought it would make things easier - but what I received was solidified paint. If I hadn't wanted to save the container I could have cut it away and I would have been left with a jar-shaped mass of Cadmium Red Deep Hue. As it is, I was able to pull the rubbery paint out of the jar with a screw driver and the paint remained all one solid piece. I'll upload photos if/when I can.So, Liquitex, you need to go back to the drawing board regarding how you're sealing these jars. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
