## Description

Product Description SINCE 1955 Challenging the established ways of doing things is in our DNA. It’s how we invented the first water-based acrylic paint back in 1955 and we’ve been innovating ever since. “I’m only happy when I’m trying to create something new” said the creator of Liquitex and we continue to live by his words. The Everyday Acrylic Push your budget harder with Basics. Use on their own or combine together with professional materials – if they’re made by Liquitex, they’re all intermixable. Perfect for everyday use, for sketching out preliminary ideas, for underpainting before laying down your final paint application and for covering large areas. Highest quality pigments All Liquitex paints use the highest quality pigments and go through the same rigorous manufacturing process. The only difference is that with Basics we use a lower concentration of pigment than our professional paints. For Basics, fine art pigments are selected and milled using the latest basket bead-mill technology, in the same way as Soft and Heavy Body Acrylics. Pigments are ground with tiny reinforced ceramic beads to give fine dispersion, great color development, strength and brightness, before being added to the acrylic emulsion. Sticks to most surfaces Use Basics on canvas, paper & board, wood & masonry, metal, styrofoam, stone & ceramics, and textiles.

Review: Great paint - I really like Liquitex paint and this is a great color. It goes on the canvas very smoothly and is so easy to work with. The color coverage is very good works well with a medium to slow drying time a bit. Overall happy with Liquitex.
Review: Like the 2-4 oz liquidex paint but bought the 48 .74/oz box because….disaster. Not as much pigmen - Liked the paint. Used it on vacation to NC mountains. Unfortunately had to leave since I was in the disaster around Asheville. Had to leave by helicopter with the clothes on my back and NONE of my paint came with me. Very sad.
