Liquitex Heavy Body Classic 6 Set

I am a professional artist and teaching painting at University levels in India since more than a decade. I have used almost all the brands available in India and I find this as the best in Acrylic paints for professional practices of art. It offers the most durable pigments: my paintings which I did with these paints in 2008-09 seem same as newly done even after these many years, and I trust they will last for many more decades. If you use these paints with Gloss-Medium preferably Camel one, and apply it with Hog-Hair brushes, it results just like oil painting effects. They are made with very fine pigments, therefore, they are versatile as can be used by very thin/translucent layers by adding water/Gloss-Medium, and also by very opaque layers like oils. Thik and smooth layers of Texture-White or Gesso are preferable to apply on the coated canvas before using these paints for achieving better tint values and sharpness of details. Seems costly for students, I suggest them to use camel acrylic colours for the initial layers and then to finalize their paintings with these ones at the end, that way they can save these paints and continue using for many Canvases.

Great quality , great price.

Great deal! I enjoy how opaque it is and I get color intensity without multiple layers.

Love this set. Small but now I know which colours I enjoy and the quality I can order larger individual ones as required

Lo ordené en 2 ocaciones y nunca me llego porque aduana lo retuvo, y la segunda se daño el paquete y lo regresaron. en ambas ocaciones me regresaron mi dinero.

Liquitex acrylic are amongst my fav acrylic paints in the market. I love the buttery nature of them as allow me to create oil-like strokes, marks and looks. They spread well and a tiny amount covers a lot of space. Pigments are great and lightfast. They last a long time, can be used undiluted to create oil-like paintings, or diluted with water or glaze to use for washes and glazes. They mix well among themselves. The colours in this set are very bright, almost fluoro, and a pleasure to work with them. I think this sizing is perfect as some of the colours might not be everyone's cup of tea. Great start taster, perfect to try before purchasing the full size product. I bought this packet during the Boxing Day sale and they were very affordable, but they are on the expensive side.
