Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint, 118ml (4-oz) Tube, Phthalocyanine Blue

Very mutable acrylic paintYou can use it full texture for more vivid depth or thin it out resembling water color soft and lightHave fun

I needed to touch up the sides of a canvas and wasn't really picky about the color of blue. This did the trick. It seems like decent quality paint and there's a lot of it. Came well packaged and arrived quickly.

Liquitex is always reliable. The color was what I expected, the thickness was such I had to thin it a bit with a gel medium which is good news, and the plastic used to make the tube has held up well. None of the problems I have had with other brands where the tube tears. This one is tough and thoroughly reusable over many paintings. I used a thin coat and it dries within 20-30 min in front of a standard fan. Value also excellent.

Bright color.... doesn't run or bleed

Great quality paint at a good price!

Arrived packaged well and on time. I could have gotten cheaper from other sites but with Prime shipping I got it in 2 days as opposed to 7-10 days and didn't have to pay high shipping cost on other sites so I guess the difference worked out. I love Basics paints. I do pour Paintings and I am learning to paint landscape art. Works well for both. It is a very creamy and vibrant paint.

Paint is good quality - NOT LIQUIDITY, so when you open it, the paint does not go all over the place... will purchase again and have purchase MANY more of their colors IN THIS SIZE... the smaller tubes by them are HORRIBLE because they are literally like liquid and get everywhere. So UPGRADE even if you do not need that much. GREAT product!

I bought this paint as a comparison between Winsor & Newton and Liquitex professional and student paints. In order to compare I did a simple gradient test to find the truest and birghtest color when mixed with white. I find it important to note that the professional Winsor and Newton uses the same pigments as the Liqutex student paint. I found that Winsor and Liquitex professional pains have the same degree of pigment saturation. However Liquitex professional had the brightest color when mixed with white. Liquitex student paint was only slightly duller than the professional and a closer comparison to Winsor professional. The Winsor student paint was not phthalo blue as I expected and had a very strong green shade. By all standards Liquitex professional was the best paint by being true to the expected color, having a high degree of pigment saturation, and remaining bright after being mixed with white. Winsor professional and Liquitex student tie for second though price would put Liquitex ahead. Winsor professional had a higher saturation but was not as bright when mixed with white and compared to Liquitex student. Winsor student pain comes in dead last by an long shot. The paint is the completely wrong color though its pigmentation states that it should be the same as Liquitex professional. The degree of saturation is far less that any of the other paints and it is greatly dulled by the white paint.Final rankings: 1. Liquitex professional 2. Liquitex student 3. Winsor & Newton professional 4. great dissapointment 5. Winsor & Newton StudentI will be buying Liquitex paints for my art. I believe that Liquitex BASICS is the best value per $ as long as the paintings are not intended to be sold by an art gallery.
