Was a Golden user exclusively. Now I also use Liquitex and Myartscape acrylics in my work. If you work in acrylics a lot you know how expensive this medium is. I also bought two sizes of Masterson's Stay-Wet Palettes. Used correctly these palettes will greatly extend your workability time. Sounds like I'm a product promoter, huh? Just an artist that likes to save money.
I enjoy 3 brands of professional acrylic paint, and this is one of them. I happily use Liquitex, Golden and Matisse professional /heavy body paint, but one advantage with Liquitex is its packaging. The cap is easy on and off, and doesn’t lend itself to gloppy paint stuck in the cap. And, if you’re very organized (me, not so much) there is a hole in the end of the tube which you could use to hang it up by.
The product is fine for student or average painting. There are both positive and negative points. First the positive; the colors are very close to what one would expect; with Liquitex having a substantial range of color choices. The negative; the regular base or heavy base require multiple coats on most surfaces to achieve a true color, meaning, it's going to take a number of coats of the paint to get the desired affects or true color. Perhaps this is good if blending colors or fading; but if you're looking for a fine line or have an area which requires a strong color; be prepared to use a lot of paint and multiple coats. Buy it again? Eh, I've found other products with a higher pigment content and about the same cost.
