Liquitex Basics Acrylic Colour is a heavy body acrylic range developed by Liquitex for students and artists who need dependable quality at an economical price. All colours are vibrantly intense and dry to a pleasing satin finish. Basics are easy to manipulate and completely intermixable with other brands and mediums. Liquitex Basics has had a makeover! New packaging shows more of the acrylic colour and technical information right on the front of the tube. While we transition from old to new, there may be a mixture of old and new tubes.
