Great paint for the price.
I use this stuff a lot. The inconsistency of paint is to be expected with almost any brand. You just have to know what to do if it’s a little lumpy and also know that it will work with what you are using it on. Way better on wood then cardboard.

disappointed in this very transparent paint
Instead of buying pricy acrylic paint that I would normally use to do an acrylic painting on canvas, I bought 7 tubes of this acrylic paint to paint cardboard for a project I'm doing. The colors looked great and I couldn't wait to get started. Unfortunately, this paint is transparent and the beautiful bright colors do not look that way unless you use 4 coats. I'm painting cardboard and since this paint is thin and very fluid, it gets absorbed by the cardboard which makes the cardboard warp, especially after 4 coats! I'm not sure what surface this paint would be opaque on, if any. Going to return the unused tubes. It was not cost effective or time effective bc I blew through a tube just by painting an 8"x8"x9" box.

Not all colors are good!
This paint is great value for the quantity you get, but some colors are always gross and gloppy. I've had the most problems with dark colors like browns, but it's also happened with yellow. So check the tube and make sure it's smooth before buying, and even then, be prepared that it may go over in a couple of months if you don't use it all.
This is not a problem I have ever had with Liquitex's other products, which I do still recommend.

Great paint for the price
Highly pigmented and creamy. I use it for acrylic pours and it mixes nicely with my pouring medium.

Great Acrylic Paint
I like using Liquitex Basics for nearly all my acrylic pouring projects. They are rich in color and don't glob up like some other paints. With a coupon, this paint is definitely the way to go!

Great Paint at a reasonable price
I've used Liquitex brand paint ever since I was studying art in college. I have tried other, less expensive brands and always come back to Liquitex for great coverage.
