    • Great quality metallic set
Style: Metallic 6 x 22ml (0.74oz)
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. ... show more

    • 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

    • Great quality, getting too expensive
Style: 12 x 118ml (4-oz)
Great paint, but the prices are going up too high for the amount you get. Good color, doesn’t fade unless, nice viscosity and dry drying time as an acrylic. It’s good quality. Just getting too expensive. I like to paint freely and be able to not have to worry about the amount I’m going through.

Perfect for students, beginners, and professionals alike! These paints have a smooth flow, don’t dry too quickly, and give you plenty of time to work on your art. Ideal for large spaces, they have very little odor – so you can focus on creating, not on fumes.

    • Bright quality colors
Style: Fluorescent 6 x 22ml (0.74oz)
I ordered this for a painting I was doing which called for neon pink. This is my favorite brand of paint. These are very small tunes, but you rarely need large amount of a neon color. At the time I only needed the pink, but now I have other colors for some black canvas paintings that use bright colors! ... show more
