Since developing the first water-based artist acrylic paints in 1955, Liquitex has focused on providing all of the tools needed by the professional artist. All Liquitex products are formulated by a unique team of chemists and artists. This combination allows us to make the most versatile ranges of intense, highly-loaded, permanent colors possible. Liquitex is the only acrylic paint brand to offer four uniquely different ranges of professional acrylic color to suit the needs of the artist. That in mind, range-specific handling characteristics are established so that each Liquitex paint feels just right – never too sticky or slippery. The low-odor acrylic resin base represents the latest in acrylic resin technology, offering increased open time and producing colors of great clarity. The paint films are highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing, UV resistant, water-resistant, and ph neutral when dry. All Liquitex professional colors can be intermixed with each other and Liquitex mediums. Liquitex heavy body artist acrylic paint, previously referred to as high Viscosity, has a thick consistency for traditional art techniques using brushes or knives as well as for experimental mixed media collage and printmaking applications. Impasto (thick) applications retain crisp brush stroke and knife marks. Good surface drag provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open-working time. High pigment load produces rich brilliant permanent color.

Great paint
As usual, Liquitex does it again! These heavy weight paints are quality paints, transparency is perfect; paints well overall. The size is good and, like most acrylic paint, dries quickly.

Nice quality
Great quality. Small tubes but a little goes a long way. VERY glossy but very opaque. Dries a little fast so work time is pretty fast. But overall really nice and professional paints and worth the price. Colors are true to the color shown on the outside of the tube as well which is great

Medium quality paints
I mostly do charcoal drawings but thought I would go back to a medium I had tried long ago – acrylics.-Quality – Even though I’m not a professional or have little recollection of paints from long ago, I can say these acrylics seem to be good quality.- Colors – Vibrant colors but the white seemed a little chalky and required more thinning during the application even though I had primed the canvas.- Work ability – Even though it’s heavy body and supposed to allow more time to work with before drying, it did seem to dry out fast. Maybe a paint conditioner may help.- Primary colors – I was a little disappointed in the color combinations since it seemed that I had to buy different packages to get a good variety.- Price – The price was just ok for the size of the tubes.- Recommendation – Would recommend for piddlers like myself. More serious artist already know what to buy. May explore other options if I decide to keep it up and need to reorder.

Pro level painting
These paints are a joy to work with! The pigmentation is vibrant, and the heavy body texture is perfect for adding dimension to your work. They blend seamlessly and dry to a beautiful finish. As a professional artist, I appreciate the quality and consistency Liquitex offers. The set is a bit pricey, but the results are worth it.

Great paints and worth the price!
These paints are wonderful. The quality is great- thick texture and bold color. These paints are good for anyone who’s invested in the hobby or even someone who is interested in painting and getting started (unless they’re a young child, I feel like it would be more beneficial to purchase a cheaper brand). I’ve been using these paints for years and have no complaints.

Good quality
The paints came in good condition, no damages, no dried paints. The colors blend perfectly and doesn’t dry too fast which is great.

Liquitex acrylic are amongst my fav acrylic paints in the market. I love the buttery nature of them as allow me to create oil-like strokes, marks and looks. They spread well and a tiny amount covers a lot of space. Pigments are great and lightfast. They last a long time, can be used undiluted to create oil-like paintings, or diluted with water or glaze to use for washes and glazes. They mix well among themselves. The colours in this set are very bright, almost fluoro, and a pleasure to work with them. I think this sizing is perfect as some of the colours might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Great start taster, perfect to try before purchasing the full size product. I bought this packet during the Boxing Day sale and they were very affordable, but they are on the expensive side.

Great paints, heavy texture with good pigment and flows well. Would definitely purchase it again if I had to. Additionally I was surprised by the quality of the brush provided.
