Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint Set, 6 x 118ml (4-oz) Tube Paint Set

I bought this set for myself way back in 2020, and let me tell you—these paints have been the ride-or-die of my creative life ever since. The color range? Chef’s kiss. From bold primaries to moody neutrals, every shade mixes like a dream and goes on smooth. The texture is buttery but not too thick, and it layers beautifully without turning into a crunchy mess. Also for a student paint the coverage is pretty good too! Whether I’m painting something majestic or just aggressively covering a canvas in “emotional red,” Liquitex never lets me down. Now, does it come with a storage case? Not exactly. It comes in a sturdy box that’s good for a while—but if you’re like me and treat your art supplies like treasure, you might eventually upgrade to a fancy case (or just pretend the box is a briefcase full of magical rainbow potions, no judgment). Bottom line: worth every penny. Great for beginners and pros. Just maybe hide it from friends who like to “borrow” art supplies and never return them. 😏🎨

I love the color and consistency. They are fantastic paints. My only complaint is I received 2 tubes of yellow oxide and did not get Naples yellow hue at all. No idea how to resolve this as the only option on Amazon is to return the whole set, which I have been using for a while before realizing the mistake.

Liquitex paint is my go to for art class. It's true to the color and blends easily.

This is a great quality metallic acrylic set. The bottles are a tad small in my opinion, but worth it. Just keep that in mind. No smell. Arrived in perfect condition. Pigment is rich and the paint is fresh and easy to use. Metallic glow and sheen is beautiful. Works straight out of the bottle. I recommend and will buy more.

The Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint Set (48 x 22ml tubes) is a great buy for beginners and hobbyists. With 48 vibrant colors—including metallics like Gold and Silver—the set offers plenty of variety for mixing and experimenting. The paint’s creamy texture applies smoothly, holds brushstrokes well, and dries quickly with a satin finish. It works great on canvas and wood, though lighter shades like Titanium White may need layering for full coverage. Affordable and versatile, it’s perfect for small projects or practice. Highly recommend!

I purchased these as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. I have used Liquitex acrylic paints for probably 50 years and have always been satisfied with the result. They tend to last a long time without drying out or the quality degrading. This is a nice set with a lot of colors, and I am sure my granddaughter will be happy with it.

This is one of my favorite acrylic paint brands. The quality is consistent and the paint is well packaged.

Excellent household product for the price and quality durability.
