Everyday acrylic paints, mediums and tools. For all types of artist. All types of painting. Formulated with artist-grade pigment. Now with an expanded color palette, more mediums and a fresh look. BASICS is for all - from those new to painting to experienced artists. Ideal if you’re a beginner or if you’re on a budget. Perfect for underpainting or sketching if you’re a serious artist. And for color scoping and exploration if you’re a creative professional. All Liquitex paints use the highest quality pigments and go through the same rigorous manufacturing process. The only difference is that with Basics we use a lower concentration of pigment than our professional paints. For Basics, fine art pigments are selected and milled using the latest basket bead-mill technology, in the same way as Soft and Heavy Body Acrylics. Pigments are ground with tiny reinforced ceramic beads to give fine dispersion, great color development, strength and brightness, before being added to the acrylic emulsion.
