Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint Tube 24-Piece Set

Nicely packaged for gift giving or reasonable storage you get the primary colors, white, black, and then a spectrum of premixed colors that will allow you to create endless arrays of color. While Liquitex also sells giant tubes, which can last you for a while, these are a great way to sample the line. I have used their products for years, and don't plan on stopping. These paints are affordable for a beginner with the quality that makes them versatile enough for more skilled artists. You can replicate the texture and look of both oil paints and water colors and can achieve effects that neither of tthe alternatives can. The best bit is acrylic don't stink. Liquitex has been around for ages, for a reason.

Liquitex is tried and true! When I started painting again after an absence of some years, I had very few colors left in the box. I went online to a 'discount' art supplier, but was put off by the prices of larger individual tubes of color. This set was a great way to start over with a broad range of color from which to choose. As I use the small tubes in the set, I can replace them individually only as I need the color. I'll be able to see what I tend to use most. This box offered a perfect solution to my problem: it allowed me to buy many colors at a very reasonable price.

I am really loving this set! It's got all the colours you'll need for most paintings. It's a really affordable set to get if you want to expand your palette or try out acrylics. The tubes are kind of small so i would consider this set to be a sort of introductory set for beginners or people who want to experiment with different palettes. The paints itself are great, nice and smooth medium body paints with good pigment. I recommend this for anyone!

This is a good basic set of acrylics. The colors are a good starting point - there are enough variations that you can extend the color palette by mixing your own custom colors. The tubes are quite small, as others have noted, but with some glazing medium you can extend these a long way, and make them very smooth. If you are looking for a basic set to get you started in acrylic paint, or just want a range of colors on hand for mixed-media work, this is perfect. I've always found all of Liquitex's range to bright and saturated and smooth paints.

I'm a beginner with acrylics and after reading reviews on here and online I found that this was actually a good set. The package came on time so that was good! I barely started using my acrylics last week to practice acrylic painting techniques. Today I took out my acrylics again and decided I wanted to try all my colors. Unfortunately one of the colors that looked most appealing to me came out like clay when I tried to put it on my palette. I even let the small blob sit in water to see if it would liquify again (since I don't know much about acrylics) but it simply absorbed the water. I squeezed a little more hopimg it was only the top that was like that but I think the whole tube is like this. Kind of upset but at least it was only 1 Of the 24 colors that had a defect. Overall great buy!

When I first ordered these, it was mostly just because I wanted to try this brand. I didn't think these bottles would last very long (sort of thought of them as a "trial size". Um, no. This paint is very rich all full bodied so these tubes will last me for years. Great quality. I use these along with the Liquitex Slow-Dri Retarder and they're both just awesome products. And with the large range of colors they include, you can mix up pretty much any color you need just with this set!

I bought this to use as a travel paint set on vacations. It's a good size and shape for the suitcase. Cons would be that the white is the same size as the other colors and you always need more white, so I'll be replacing that one pretty quickly. I hadn't used Liquitex in years and forgot how high quality of a product it was. The paint flow is smooth and vibrant. The price was great as well.

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!

The packaging is good and I received the product in time...loved the acrylic paints...

Good quality paint. The tubes are medium sized and have lots of paint. They fit on a nice angle inside the box, only part I dislike is the box does not stay closed tightly at all. The box is very flimsy and all the paint falls out if you tilt it in a bag. Overall This paint is very nice. Very easy to mix and glides onto canvases and paper very well. I would recommend this for yourself or a gift. I would not recommend letting children paint with it as it is high quality and stains easy. I will definitely purchase more once I have used it all.

I bought these as a gift for my sister who recently started painting, she was happy with this product. I did some research and decided the best value was to buy acrylic, I thought because this product was such a good price the quality might suffer but I am so happy that is not true. There is great variety of colours included and it paints very well. My nephew will use some paints on occasion so it was important that these paints could wash easily from clothes. I will buy again and recommend to anyone.

I purchased this set as a way to give liquitex a good try and test many colours. I love this set. It comes with enough colours that you can paint anything you like and the tubes are a decent size. I have purchased bigger tubes of my favourite colours (white, black, magenta, cad yellow, pthalo blue and green) but even after lots of painting the small tubes of everything else are still going strong. Great way to test many colours to see what you would use the most.

This product is worth it's price. The product was nicely packed and none of the paint was dry. Great for beginners! Must buy!
