From the manufacturer

BASICS

Liquitex BASICS Acrylic

Basics is for all creatives. For all budgets. It’s perfect for all painting techniques including underpainting and sketching. This medium viscosity paint is made with lightfast, art pigments in an expanded choice of 72 colors.

Highest quality pigments

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.

Economical

Push your budget harder with Basics. Use on their own or combine together with professional materials – if they’re made by Liquitex, they’re all intermixable. Perfect for everyday use, for sketching out preliminary ideas, for underpainting before laying down your final paint application and for covering large areas.

Archival quality

Hanging on a client’s wall. In a gallery. It needs to stay as you intended. As with all Liquitex paints, the pigments have passed extensive tests for lightfastness. Your work will have the greatest archival permanence possible, withstanding color shifting or fading to stay vibrant and true.

Sticks to most surfaces

Use Basics on canvas, paper & board, wood & masonry, metal, styrofoam, stone & ceramics, and textiles.

Medium viscosity

Basics paints come in a single consistency across all colors - a medium viscosity that is highly versatile and easy to work with.

Range of opacities

Each color is dictated by its natural pigment character. If you look at the packaging labels, you will see that some are opaque, others are semi-opaque and others are transparent.
