Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint, 250ml (8.5-oz) Tube, Ivory Black

This is good paint. There is better paint for more money, because there always is. And there is also horrible paint, because there always is. Like this starter set I ordered for my daughter just because I was cheap, and thought it will do for a kid. Boy was I wrong. Toothpaste is more vibrant than what we got there. You can go super fancy with artist paint. Some buy expensive, some mix their own with pigments, some make their own pigments, some are beyond paint because art is just an illusion and manifestation is not needed. Did I lost you?Hang on and please finish reading before you start searching for ‘Toothpaste Art’.I’m using this paint because it gives me the freedom to try things out. I’m not selling paintings anymore. What I paint goes either on my own walls or is gifted to friends. So the elders of art-materials won’t give me the look for using ordinary products. You can smear half a tube around without breaking the bank. Some colors don’t cover good enough for tiny details, but any stroke wider than a finger will work. The darker it gets, the better the opacity. Black is killing it, and I’m using it on so many things. I dilute it with water and isopropyl alcohol to dye wood on a budget, or straight out of the tube to black out paper, cardboard, or one dollar notebooks. So click a few colors into the shopping cart and spread the love. What I learned: You will be surprised how good kid’s art can look using proper paint. Parental guidance required.I hope it helps to make a decision.

does the job, good value.

My baby (17 year old cat, Rusty) passed away the day after Thanksgiving, 2012. The clinic had his paws imprinted onto a clay circle. I wanted it painted but know nothing about paints. My twin sister is an artist, and she specifically asked for this product. I received my cast from her done with the black, red and white version of the Liquitex paints, and it is beautiful. She really knows her paints! If you're a real artist, then I needed say more. If you are just learning to paint, this stuff rocks (she swears by it!).

This is super thick and awesome! Most acrylic paint at this level is thin and runny but this one is solid. Amazing coverage, totally recommend!!

Fast shipping.The paint works well and is a good price.The basic brand is just that - for everyday painting. I love this for the primary colors and you always needs extra black so you can't go wrong with this.

Okay so, the paint itself is great, it’s black paint. Nice coverage, normal paint stuff. The CAP however is tightened by the damn gods! I had leftover paint I did not use at the end of my project and normally I’d just scoop it back into the tube so it’s not wasted. I TRIED to do this same thing only to have the cap NOT come off but the OTHER end to OPEN and squirt a HUGE glob of paint onto my shirt.Still haven’t gotten the cap off btw. Buy the paint, don’t try and take the cap off. Seriously.

I love this paint. This is the company I always use with my friends, and it is very smooth and lasts a long time.

This is not professional grade paint, but it is decent student quality and a good deal for the price. I bought a big bottle of black and white to use with my nicer set of paints.
