Basics is Liquitex's student-quality line, made for everyday use by all kinds of artists. This five-piece set is the ideal introduction to the world of mediums. Use it to build-up your tool kit and try out new techniques and ideas.

All Liquitex paints use the highest quality pigments and go through the same rigorous manufacturing process. The only difference is that Basics uses a lower concentration of pigment than the Liquitex professional paints. For Basics, fine art pigments are selected and milled using the latest basket bead-mill technology, in the same way as Soft and Heavy Body Acrylics. Pigments are ground with tiny reinforced ceramic beads to give fine dispersion, great color development, strength and brightness, before being added to the acrylic emulsion. Which means they're made with the same lightfast, fine art pigments Liquitex uses in the professional range, but just a lighter load.
