Excellent Product
I have some slight experience of using acrylic paints from when I was an art teacher, but these Liquitex are the first acrylics I have owned for my own personal use - and I think they are great. They maintain colour vibrancy and don't become dull when watered down. This recent purhase is to replenish my stocks; the first lot have lasted well. I would recommend the box of 12 as a good starter pack and then you can select more as you go along. My only problem has been getting used to the names of the colours, which are not necessarily what I am used to: there is no Yellow Ochre for example, but there are similar colours. So don't let that put you off; this is a good buy.

I love liquitex, sure it's a little pricey but the effects are worth it in the end. Amazing colour and great texture :) the only complaint I have is that I want bigger tubes instead of little 59 ml tubes they should have 250ml and 500ml options... (can't have to much of something this awesome lol ) :)

These are superb colours with great density and coverage. A personal favourite is the Green Gold which can provide a range of hues from a beautiful golden yellow to a dark green.
