    • Acrylic Awesomeness in a Box!
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz)
Review Image by BARBARA BARBARA
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. 😏🎨 ... show more

    • detailed review on the whole package
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz)
very great price at $31.00 plus prime shipping you cant beat it. I alter MTG cards for side cash and these are enough to do hundreds of cards. I cant see myself needing to buy more this year since I only use these on small projects. I did buy another though since I noticed amazon selling one that has a damaged box but the tubes are still intact for under $27 and these are a steal. about the storage box. a very sturdy box. the top cover completely covers all four sides so you have to pull the top completely off like a velveta cheese box. which is fine but I was surprised and though these would be in a cheap cardboard or plastic flimsy box but this box is very sturdy and with regular use will prob last longer than the paints. the paints are stacked on 4 plastic dividers with 12 tubes on each row. the holes in the top of the box are really there with just a very thin layer of clear plastic so you can really see the paint through the box. if you remove the plastic or for some reason it came off it wouldn't affect the box look or use at all since the holes are so small that even if you didn't have the dividers and just threw your paint in the box and shook the box the paint tubes would not fall out. about the paint its good paint if you ever used liquitex brand you know they have a good quality and vibrate colors. each tube has just about the same amount (if not a little less) of paint as a average tube of toothpaste. so use this info to decide if these is enough paint for you. would I recommend yes! for the price that I paid for 2 boxes was less than 1 box at regular price. plus prime shipping. plus this is a great brand. all around great amazon prime find! if you can get these for $40 or under with prime shipping at least you would be saving so much! ... show more

    • Perfect, Beautiful Paints! Fantastic Price!
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz)
Before I bought these paints, I read all the reviews and most of them seemed pretty positive. And they should be! These paints are wonderful! But I was curious as to why some people gave them 1 or 2 stars, and had complaints.So, I read those low-scored reviews and here is what I saw. The negative reviews all addressed the same issues: they said that the paint was thin, watery, transparent; they said the colors were not rich; they said that the tube was not filled all the way; they said that the paint squirted out upon opening the tube. This told me a lot, so I ordered the paints and knew what to do. Just do this when you get your set-- shake the tube of paint before opening it!!! The tube is not filled all the way full because it needs room for the paint to blend when you shake it! Acrylic paint, as do all paints, separate when left still for awhile. So, before you twist off the cap of the tube, shake it firmly for several seconds. The "empty" space in the tube will allow for the paint to blend as you shake it. Then, hold the tube with the cap upright and then twist the cap off. The paint will not squirt out or splatter. The paints are rich and creamy with vibrant colors! They cover with one brush stroke. And, they blend beautifully together when you use more than one color while they are still wet. Plus, you only need to use a small dollop--not a lot--for the paint to go a long way. I am going to get another set for myself, even though I just now started using this one, and I am going to get one for my boyfriend, too. They will work wonderfully in his airbrush, as well as traditional paint brushes. Don't be scared off by negative reviews. Just shake the tube before using!! ... show more

    • My kid loves this
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz)
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! ... show more

    • Quality product - Arrived on time
Style: Fluorescent 6 x 22ml (0.74oz)
The media could not be loaded. I like the quality and consistency of these paints. Nice bright fluorescent colors. It’s hard to find a good fluorescent red and I like this one. The products were sent in quick order and I’m satisfied with this purchase. Dave Purkerson.

I’ve been using Liquitex paints for years, both with students and for personal work. These paints are great for beginners and experimentation, but quality enough to use for more “serious” work. I bought this set as a gift for someone who wants to start painting. This set will give much better results and are easier to work with than the typical “starter” sets. ... show more
