I'm a professional artist and I use Liquitex paints all the time. I love acrylic paint and Liquitex is some of the best, despite huge marketing efforts by another brand, these are just as concentrated and just as good. They are just the right consistency to not have to be watered down. These paints are not thick enough for impasto but just right for most regular painting uses. The only thing I don't like about them is when you take the inner seal off the top you need a small knife to do it (at least I do) and usually the paint spurts out a bit. I wish they didn't have the inner seal at all, but I suppose it's necessary.

I love Liquitex even if it is expensive. It is better to use a single product line as you learn it's characteristics, both good and bad. I haven't found the bad part of the equation yet with Liquitex. This 8 pack contains a good selection of colors and the soft body is the original Liquitex. Liquitex airbrush medium thins these colors to easily spray in an airbrush. Buying the 8 pack reduces the cost per bottle very nicely.Best Deals for Liquitex Professional Soft Body Acrylic Paint Classic Jar 8-piece
I bought these for a painting class in school. Buying the 8-pack is a good bargain compared to the prices at the student bookstore. Loved these paints, highly pigmented and had a good viscosity because they are soft body paints. Not too thick (in my opinion, the Liquitex heavy body paints are too thick and hard to mix) and not too thin. Some of my classmates had the cheap Liquitex Basics line and you could tell a difference, these have way better opacity.The fact that these have a flip top makes them so easy to access compared to the twist-top tubes. You can open them with one hand as opposed to two, which is important in painting because your other hand often contains your brush(es)! They can be squeezed out, so I reached for them much more often than my jars of paint which had to be scooped out. Bottom line: one-handed operation is a major selling point.
Unfortunately my cadmium yellow was all dried out but I didn't realize until it was past the 2 week return date.
Honest reviews on Liquitex Professional Soft Body Acrylic Paint Classic Jar 8-piece
These are WONDERFUL paints. They have a fluid consistency, but are incredibly creamy and highly pigmented at the same time. I have used quite a few brands of fluid acrylics before (everything from Golden to craft paints to Byzantias) but never committed to an entire set.I purchased these Liquitex Soft Body paints for a painting class I am takingI figured it was a good way to get a range of colors in one shot. I have a stash of regular and heavy body acrylics, but not as many fluid acrylics, and as soon as I received the Liquitex paints and opened them, I realized that I have been missing out.
These paints have the same pigment and coverage as thicker acrylics (the acrylics with a toothpaste consistency) but flow beautifully (like syrup). The soft body paints are perfect for either "loose" painting or detail oriented work.
The colors are wonderful and the consistency is a lovely, thick fluid. I use both glaze and water to dilute these, but they flow so nicely, it's rarely necessary. They just flow across the surface of canvas (and paper) and are vivid and bright.
And this eight piece set is a *really* good value at the price I purchased it (thirty three) The colors retail from five to twelve dollars each jar, and this is a perfect started set with six basic color (mixable to many more) plus black and white. I would recommend purchasing this starter kit plus adding a few colors you love and adding as you go.
LOVE these paints.
