Liquitex Basics Acrylic 118ml Ivory Black 4 oz
Basics Liquitex acrylic paints are designed for all artists and for every budget. Basics acrylics have been developed to Liquitex's exacting standards. This means that the same lightfast pigments have been used in their production as those used in the Proffessional series. The only difference is that the Basics inks use a lower pigment concentration than the Proffessional series inks. The advanced paint formula is highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing and UV resistant. Your artwork will have the greatest possible archival durability, resistant to color change and fading. They are medium viscosity acrylics containing lightfast, artist-quality pigments and come in a wide range of 72 colors. You can use Basics paints on canvas, paper, cardboard, wood, masonry, metal, styrofoam, stone, ceramics and textiles. Use them on their own or combine them with professional materials - if they are made by Liquitex brand, you can mix them with each other without any worries. Basic acrylic paints will be perfect for everyday use, for sketching preliminary ideas, for underpainting before the final coat of paint is applied, and for covering large areas. All Liquitex Basic paints contain the highest quality pigments and go through the same rigorous manufacturing process. In the case of Basics paints, the artist pigments are selected and ground using the latest technology, in the same way as for Soft and Heavy Body acrylics. Before being added to the acrylic emulsion, the pigments are finely ground using ceramic balls to ensure excellent dispersion, great color reproduction, strength, brightness and opacity.

Love liquitex and all their products. Definitely can tell the difference between this product and their heavy body acrylic. This basics style is more watery. Takes a couple of coats to fully get the desired saturation. But simple to add a thicker medium to get there. Pro is, there is a lot of paint in the tube!

At 4 oz, 118 ml Liquitex is always a dependable brand. At this size it's the most useful. Black is one of the most used paints aside from white, and so you always run out of it. It's good for most unartistic tasks like electronics repair, speaker grills, or mostly repainting anything that has black paint on it, and making it look new again. It won't fade in sun light and applies very readily. Perfect for crafts.

As a new painter, (acrylic & pour), I started by buying 3 boxed sets of 2oz. tubes & a LOT of inexpensive panels, (5x7), to explore possible latent talent as well as medium quality and value. No discounts or free samples so I did invest in the hope of enjoying, producing and excelling (over time). Liquitex has, thus far, become my one brand stop for acrylic colors, with good reason. Though not a "pro" by any stretch of the imagination, I found good paint coverage, mixing ability, color accuracy and yes, cleanup, all vastly more important than I'd previously thought. Pigment, weight, fastness, drying time are a few factors affecting anyone's end product. For me it is important for paint to be consistent in all areas, at a price point my budget tolerates well, ... MoreAs a new painter, (acrylic & pour), I started by buying 3 boxed sets of 2oz. tubes & a LOT of inexpensive panels, (5x7), to explore possible latent talent as well as medium quality and value.

This paint is a great quality for an affordable price. Its consistency is smooth and provides little resistance in achieving an even coverage without dilution. The dry time is medium, not so slow that it disrupts a work session and not so fast that it dries on the brush if you're working the finer details of a section of canvas. It is opaque enough to apply one or, at most, two layers, even over darker colors without their showing through. It mixes well with other brands of acrylic and a little goes a long way (for the white) to lighten a shade or add highlights. For its even coverage and opacity, you will be able to use less of it than the more transparent and thinner paints, so it is a great value. Its texture is smooth enough to conceal your brush strokes if you ... MoreThis paint is a great quality for an affordable price.

Liquitex Basics Ultramarine Blue - I use alot of ultramarine blue, as I paint with a limited palette. And I love the Liquitex line of paints. You get alot of quality for the money. Even though the Basics is considered a student quality paint, it still has the same archival ratings as the same color in the professional versions. I U. Blue in the heavy body & the soft body as well. The Basics tend to be a little softer & sometimes a little more translucent than the soft body paints, so each has its best uses. #sweepstakes
The image supplied; of my purchase, is showing a different color from the one that I purchased at my last visit to "Michaels". I, am hesitant to review the Liquitex-Basic Acrylics, since, depending upon the color and intended use and mixing; results do vary. But, I want to let you know, that these colors can be very nice indeed. Sometimes the opacity or density is measured slightly off and some of the available mediums, such as sandy finish, paste, or high gloss are not always available, either, in store, or online. Regarding my last purchase: I do like the buy one, get one with a coupon count off prices, { When that happens} And, for me these liquitex basics acrylics can often give very good tones and shades, unlike some other primary mixers.

Sometimes the opacity or density is measured slightly off and some of the available mediums, such as sandy finish, paste, or high gloss are not always available, either, in store, or online. Regarding my last purchase: I do like the buy one, get one with a coupon count off prices, { When that happens} And, for me these liquitex basics acrylics can often give very good tones and shades, unlike some other primary mixers. The color that I actually purchased, which is not represented in the purchased list, is a "Neon type of pink", "Don't tell anyone", it is sort of a vintage color and I hope that it does not disappear. One of my favorite similar shades is Opera pink, and that color is not always available. There are a number of other pink shades, including extreme variations to the hot pink and neon color. Actually, I have found differences between , almost all of the brands of acrylic I have tried, that are offered in bright pink or hot pink or neon. Some are more matte similar to a lipstick pink. The one I prefer has what appears to be, almost a hot yellow or orange edge, to the brightest shade of neon pink? Maybe it is a sort of blued version? Since, I do prefer a specific shade in use, but can not always recognize it or tell it, when trying to shop in store. Actually the one offered by the Liquitex brand, looked more of a match to my ideal. When I purchase the neon color before, it was a little flat? Anyway, I do appreciate these , and they are equivalent to some of the Master's brands of acrylics.
I bought this paint with several other colors when I anticipated needing larger quantities of certain colors for a big project than what I already had in the Artist's Loft bundle of acrylics I bought. I was extremely impressed with the richness of color and the body of the paint. It is thick and provides even coverage, and it mixes well with other colors and brands. I have been very impressed with all of the Liqitex paints I have bought so far, and I find them to be an impeccable value, all the more when they are on a sale promotion. I recommend this paint for its rich color, even, full-bodied texture, and its great price.
My son is an impressionist painter, I am writing this review for him. He is almost nonverbal and his speech is unreliable, but I know that Liquitex helps him "talk" through his paintings. One day he came up to me with a piece of paper on it that said Liquitex Basics. I said "who taught you this?" we immediately went to Michael's and from that day forward, he rarely uses Apple Barrel--- he loves Liquitex and the way it dries and lets him touch his paintings with texture.
i have recently started using flourescents in my artwork. i finally found the best ones for my techniques. i especially love the color of basics flourescent blue. it has a prpoerty of transparency which is what i want: glazes over underpaintings that reveal brush strokes. really nice! so glad to have discovered this particular product! its a star in my pallette!
im a professional artist. i use acrylics along with latex paints. each have different properties. im super happy with the BASICS line of acrylics especially the flourescents. i keep on hand extra tubes of flourescent red pink orange green and blue. they are amazing. i have an art show on now of my paintings strongly representing basics flourescents. the viewers are astounded. i cant paint without flo red. its my staple. thank you for my materials found at my local michaels! and thanks for lowering prices and sales and coupons!
