Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint, 2-oz (59ml) Tube, Quinacridone Red-Orange

Was a Golden user exclusively. Now I also use Liquitex and Myartscape acrylics in my work. If you work in acrylics a lot you know how expensive this medium is. I also bought two sizes of Masterson's Stay-Wet Palettes. Used correctly these palettes will greatly extend your workability time. Sounds like I'm a product promoter, huh? Just an artist that likes to save money.

I enjoy 3 brands of professional acrylic paint, and this is one of them. I happily use Liquitex, Golden and Matisse professional /heavy body paint, but one advantage with Liquitex is its packaging. The cap is easy on and off, and doesn’t lend itself to gloppy paint stuck in the cap. And, if you’re very organized (me, not so much) there is a hole in the end of the tube which you could use to hang it up by.

The product is fine for student or average painting. There are both positive and negative points. First the positive; the colors are very close to what one would expect; with Liquitex having a substantial range of color choices. The negative; the regular base or heavy base require multiple coats on most surfaces to achieve a true color, meaning, it's going to take a number of coats of the paint to get the desired affects or true color. Perhaps this is good if blending colors or fading; but if you're looking for a fine line or have an area which requires a strong color; be prepared to use a lot of paint and multiple coats. Buy it again? Eh, I've found other products with a higher pigment content and about the same cost.

As an artist, I use a ton of paint. Liquitex has always been a go-to paint for me. I was very pleased with this jar of paint, which was sealed under the cap. Upon removing the seal, it was filled completely to the top. I use white more than any other paint, and I will definitely be purchasing this jar again.

New to painting but I love Liquitex. It's a great brand, especially for beginners since they offer the "basic" paint tubes. The heavy body was on sale so I picked up this tube and love it. You can tell the difference between this and the basic tube. Still love the basic (I am new = not very good but improving!) but I will try and pick up a few of these tubes along the way as I improve.

I have never been so excited to receive a giant container of white paint before. No other brand comes close to the amount of pigment found in this paint. Liquitex Professionals makes the best heavy body paints and it is worth every penny. Don't sacrifice the quality of you art for an inferior product...I guess if you are a beginner or not trying to sell your work, the Basics is fine, but if you're looking to take your art to the next level, you need this paint.

Used for my Oyster shell craft and it was lovely and smooth to work with and covered very well.

Liquitex paints has been the paint I use for the past 30 years and yes I have some tubes of paint that have lasted that long in the tube! Mostly I paint woodcarvings but in the past I also done framed art. For carvings I apply the paint mixed with water as a wash, building the color as I need as it soaks into the wood. Liquitex paint does not build a shine as other craft paints tend to do. I will purchase this brand again.

Liquitex is my favourite brand for acrylic paint. Important: study carefully the product description to know what you are buying. I personally only buy single pigment paints, and Liquitex is very good about documenting the pigment used and the characteristics of the pigment - transparency, lightfastness and series. Beware that prices can vary significantly, so check prices on a regular basis since there are sometimes good deals - saving approx. 30% of the recommended price.Otherwise: if you want your work to last and colours remain stable, stay away from cheap paints: they use cheap pigments which have poor stability and they also put less pigments in the mix, which ends up being a waste of money.

I really like these Liquitex heavy bodied acrylics for their creamy texture and the easy-to-use tubes. They are usually slightly cheaper than other artist-quality brands and I find myself coming back to them again and again. The only slight criticism is that they do dry darker, but most brands do this to some extent. Good to be able to get this next day from Amazon when you’ve run out.

I am a semi professional artist working towards an exhibition, and Liquitex heavy body acrylic is my preferred paint. Always perfect quality paint, and fantastic customer service from Amazon with very prompt delivery.

I was so pleased to receive this in the nick of time. I mostly recommend liquitex, the paint does what it should do and liquitex put it in a tube with an efficient cap.

ordered this thinking I'd ordered white, but glad I had ordered this by mistake, it is an excellent colour.
