I searched high and low for this large set of 48 colors. The tube size is generous and the colors are true quality! Delivery was quick! (3 days!) The only problem I had was when puncturing the seal for the first time on the tubes the paint tended to spurt out as if under pressure. This may, however, be due to the fact that I live at high altitude (6000 ft.) This tip may help for those of you who have the same problem: Use a safety pin to puncture the seal instead of the point on the lid. Leave the safety pin in for a few seconds to allow the pressure to release slowly. When you remove the pin you shouldn't lose any paint.

This has to be one of the best purchases I've made. The colors are great and it gives you a wonderful samples to work with. The paint covers nicely and works well even with the modeling paste on canvas.

Although they were expensive, these acrylic paints worked amazing. I am a 13-year-old girl who loves to paint, and these were the highest quality of paint I have ever purchased! I would recommend these to anyone with 45 bucks! A+++

Honest reviews on Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint Tube 48-Piece Set

I have painting in my blood...which kinduv makes it hard to donate...but my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother were all very accomplished painters. I, on the other hand, tend to dabble and because I see myself as more or less a dabbler, I really don't find it necessary to go all out on products.

These paints fit the bill very nicely for what I like to do. They go on rather smoothly and they don't tend to glob up like some paints do. They also tend to wash out of clothing very easily as my wife can attest. I happened to sit on a tube of brown paint....yeah, tell me about it...it was a bummer, especially when I was wearing white shorts at the time...

But when I'm not going for the skidmark look, I like to use these paints on canvas as well as on heavy cardboard. Like I said, I just dabble but it's better the dabble you know than the dabble you don't...

Besides, would I lie to you? I've done 300+ reviews on this here website and I'm not about to start. I have a reputation. It might not be very good, but I have one.

I think I would even recommend these paints to someone who is accomplished. I like the way they mix. By the way, did you know that when you mix blue and red you get purple? I know that because there is now a big purple stain on one of my good shirts.

My wife is going to kill me...

Peace and Blessings,

i love this paint. it lasts for a long time, because you really dont need that much and it spreads wonderfully. the only thing is some colors (not very many) are a little different from the tube color, which is to be expected i guess. but overall i love it
