All the shades you want in your arsenal

Look, the color is expensive. When you want to have a collection of primary colors in your collection, it can really add up and leave a huge hole in your wallet. There is a huge amount of shades in this set and although the tubes are not very large the set will last forever if you are working on smaller projects like mine. The paints are of excellent quality, apply evenly, look beautiful and saturated. For the price you really can't do better.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Makes angry

Color not uniform without streaks

Tubes are very small and Ultramarine Blue is completely dry. I use them on illustration board and find it impossible to get an even color without streaks. Streaks remain after staining the area 4 and 5 times. When it dries it looks like crappy tempera paint. Please note that there is no black or white in the 48 color set. Some pipes are very runny while others are thick or hard. I teach acrylic painting in college and would not recommend Liquitex to my students.

Won't make that mistake again

I was in financial trouble and I saw all the good reviews so I thought 'why not? Liquitex is a good brand, isn't it?" Never again. If you like to re-color your art two or three times, this color is for you. It's so transparent (because the pigment content is very low) that it was practically useless to me. I've found that acrylic paint is very forgiving. When unwanted brushstrokes appear, the paint spreads out and smooths out. Not Liquitex basics. Every stroke, touch and movement is visible…

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

A little disappointed. Did I get a bad batch of yellow?

This is my first experience with Liquitex Basics acrylic paint. I am new to working with acrylics. Liquitex seems like a good brand and I saw a lot of people using basics so I started with that. I mostly use with gel press plate. I found the yellow in this set to be very watery, containing little to no pigment and therefore very light on paper. I received a bad color? Other colors seem to have a nice consistency and texture. Colours: Titanium White, Medium Cadmin Yellow, Naphthol Red, Phthalo…

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • New Competitors Appeared

The 48-piece set is perfect for beginners like me.

As a new artist I bought a set of 48 pieces. With more experience, I was able to mix more of my own colors, but I didn't want to get too excited. I tried about 12 colors and was satisfied. Burnt sienna is a bit thick, but very healthy. I strongly recommend that beginners who purchase this set also purchase a large tube of Titanium White. I've taken 3-4 pictures so far and I'm already out of the white. Titanium White is often used to dilute other colors and runs out very quickly, so do yourself…

Pros
  • Colors
Cons
  • Damaged

Thick color, many colors! 5 Stars!

Let me start by saying that before trying them I only used Apple Barrel brand paints so it was like day and night between them. These colors are thick, and I mean really thick! They glide across both canvas and mixed media paper. I had no problems applying the paint. I bought them because Jane's YouTube channel where I watch tutorials always uses this brand of paint and she never seems to say anything bad about them. So to achieve some of the looks I wanted, my other cheaper paints were too…

Pros
  • Painting
Cons
  • Doubtful
