LiquitexLiquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint, 118ml (4-oz) Tube, Turquoise Blue

While we use these paints for our art classes liberally, buying them online has been a nightmare. You can only rely on the color-chart at your own-risk. The colors have been named/identified by someone with a serious problem. One, "Cadmium Red - Light Hue" is the color of an orange traffic cone. Looking at the color-chart provided in the item listing, we expected a vermilion, but that one isn't even close. Just call it fluorescent orange and be done with it! And "Magenta - Medium"? Pepto-Bismol pink! In what universe is that magenta?? The makers of these paints are on the paint-ID struggle-bus. When photos of the actual tube are provided, go with those. The chart is a lie.

I bought the bronze color paint. I chose it going by the color shown in the photos rather than what they named the color (risky, I know) because I wanted something copper-toned that wasn't *too* red or pink, but more of a natural copper color. This fits the bill. The paint is a reddish brown "penny" color under normal light, not a yellowish brown color like actual bronze usually is -- if you're looking for a bronze color. However, when light reflects straight off of it, sometimes it can have a golden/bronze cast depending on the angle.The paint isn't super thick, it goes on evenly and smoothly. If you want really good coverage, you'll need to put on more than one layer of paint, and preferably over a darker color. I did swatches of 1, 2, and 3 layers on black and white sketch paper using a soft brush. Getting a good photo was impossible because of the metallic reflection. I took one with light overhead and one without.Overall it would be better if it was more pigmented, but it's really not bad for what it is. I'm planning on using it for decorative purposes anyway, probably with a copper-toned or brown basecoat and this on top.

Liquitex paints rock. They are used by professionals as well as amateur hobbyists like me. I've bought a bunch of the core pigments by Liquitex, which are all gorgeous, and have learned this : Do not, I repeat, DO... NOT... buy the largest size paint as a way to get a cheaper prize per ounce. It is NOT WORTH IT. I bought Titanium White in a chunky jar because I knew I'd use it most. I regret this SO MUCH. The jars are absolute messy garbage. It is so hard to know how much you'll need and you end up wasting more paint than you save. You unscrew the lid and dry little flakes drop into the jar's giant maw, soiling your literal pound of beautiful, fresh paint with dry poo poo nurdles. I hate it. Get the squeeze tubes. The jars shouldn't even be sold.

Let me be the first to say, reviews are great. Since I've been exposed to reading reviews before purchasing.. I almost never buy without doing so. It's saved me some great headache, led me to some favorites, and let me learn from my own mistakes. This had mixed reviews.. on various websites I read on and on about it being.. as it's labeled... "basic". I was led to believe this was of low quality and I should pass it up. However.. I ignored those reviews, as I sometimes do. To say the least, I'm glad I did. I love this paint. I love how smoothly it applies. It's a great cover paint, which can be hard to find in whites. I've never had a problem using it as even my sixth layer. Add water, and you have a great glaze. Don't be fooled by negative reviews. Think of it this way.. it's cheap. If you hate it, you didn't waste much money finding out for yourself. I for one, love it and am glad to have found a wallet friendly paint to add to my palette.

I bought this product because I am doing “Acrylic April” with the Art Sherpa and this is a predominant colour on her palette. I tried substituting the rose hued paint I had, but wowza! This colour beats them all! Not transparent, rich, and medium thickness perfect for mixing or on its own. I am SO glad I added this colour to my collection. The price and quality are worth it!

Cheap big tube of acrylic paint for school painting classes. i would not use it for a pro work as pigments are not the best, but it is fantastic for beginners and students for example. The paint is not too runny and not too thick either, but it does its job very well. I usually do two layers to make sure it covers the canvas. I am very sensitive to odors and the smell is close to none. However I would use it close to an animal or a baby. Protect your floor or anything around if you do not have an atelier, and put on old clothes because acrylic does not disappear easily once it is in the place. A good purchase that will last as the tube is big (8.45 -oz).

This paint comes out beautifully on shells creating a pretty natural look and a lovely sheen. Good value for price, really happy with my purchase!

For some reason, Burnt Umber is a popular color this year because I had a hard time finding it in my favorite medium, which is chalk paint & I've even bought acrylic burnt umber & made my own chalk paint, but I couldn't find it for MONTHS locally so when I completely ran out I remembered Amazon! Lol! And again, my options were limited. I have other colors in this brand that I picked up along the way or people gave me, but I've never used it. So, I gave it a try bci really needed to finish a bunch of projects I had already started & hoped it all matched. It came in pretty quickly and when it did, I got to work! I wasn't so sure bc it is rather thick for someone used to working with acrylic paint, but that was a nice surprise bc I usually thicken it with plaster of paris or powder! I mostly use Burnt Umber to make "Faux rust" or a grungy, old, rusty, rustic look and this paint was perfect for that! I also like to use Burnt Umber for my "Faux chocolate"... Like the little Chocolate Pudding dessert cups as seen in the Pic. It makes a perfect chocolate color esp if you're mixing it with a solid white medium! And because it's a nice solid color and thick paint, it doesn't water the whole project down! If you are NOT a painter and are more of a crafter that sticks to mainly acrylic or chalk paint, don't be afraid to venture out of you are having a hard time finding a certain color. This paint, although I'm sure more used for paintings, it works great for crafting too. I highly recommend and will Def be buying this brand more often in the future.

I love this product, I've used it to paint pinecones, the coverage is fab, the colour is amazing it's so shiny, the picture is with only 1 coat, it's not runny like most acrylic paint, it's quite thick but it goes a long way, I also purchased a red colour but the red is like a matt, defo recommend.

So I do a lot of painting with acrylic paint. I needed some cadmium red and thought this would fit the bill. I’ve not used this make before but it was reasonably priced and a decent sized tube. The colour is perfect for my needs. The paint is easy to squeeze out and it covers really well. Now I’m using this to paint little pictures so it’s very easy to water down this quite thick paint to my preferred consistency. I also do dot painting and I do have to note that this would be certainly too thick to use for dot painting without adding a lot of water. If you are a beginner at dot painting I would probably recommend that you search out some thinner paints unless you are happy to practice watering this down. For my needs this is a good paint that gives excellent coverage albeit a bit thick.

It is a good quality paint for anyone who is not a professional--I can say I would buy it again, but it appears Amazon.ca (Canada) has a problem when you are looking at items to purchase--the majority of these paints were anywhere from 7.95--13.00 (rounded) but when I go on now it is crazy they say it cost anywhere from 35.00 to 50.00 or more for one bottle--they need to fix their website because if that is what they think we will pay this kind of money for 4 ozs of paint they are going to lose a lot of online purchasing and will go to the local stores instead--and it is not just acrylic paint--it is other items I have viewed and the price keeps changing overtime you go on it.

Im a Big fan of this companyI buy a Fare amount of liquitex 👌🖌 I just Really Enjoy working with this Paint !!!Good coverage & Vibrant colours.Liquitex has a Great choice of colours to choose from.The paint is Of good quality & at an affordable price 👍I would Definitely Recommend this Acrylic paint.

Very transparent. Various coats to cover completely cerulean blue for example. Great fluidity."Windsor & Newton" are much opaque and thick.
