Why choose this product

Authentic Artist-Grade Pigments for Every Budget

Liquitex BASICS acrylics bring artist-quality pigments to a more accessible price point. While professional lines boast higher pigment load, BASICS still uses lightfast, archival-grade colorants. This means your artwork resists fading and color shifting, maintaining its vibrancy for years. Imported directly from authorized US retailers and authorized brand partners, each tube is factory-sealed, guaranteeing authenticity. This paint is perfect for students exploring their artistic voice, hobbyists working on large projects, or professionals needing reliable color for underpainting and sketching without compromising on quality or safety. The AP certification ensures it's safe for all creative endeavors.

Ideal for Beginners & Versatile Use

This paint is excellent for anyone starting their art journey or looking for a reliable, budget-friendly option. Its medium viscosity and satin finish make it easy to work with on canvas, paper, and wood. Use it for sketching ideas, underpainting, or creating full artworks. It intermixes well with other Liquitex paints, professional or BASICS. If you require extremely high pigment load for intense opacity or specific professional techniques, consider Liquitex's professional lines. However, for vibrant, safe, and long-lasting color across a wide range of applications, BASICS is a superb choice.

How to use

Ensure your canvas, paper, or wood surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For porous surfaces like canvas or raw wood, consider applying a primer or gesso first for better adhesion and a smoother finish. — Prepare Your Surface
Squeeze the desired amount of Liquitex BASICS Transparent Yellow paint onto your palette. Use brushes, palette knives, or sponges to apply the medium-viscosity paint. Blend with water for thinner washes or use directly for thicker applications. — Apply the Paint
Allow layers to dry to the touch before applying subsequent coats. BASICS acrylics dry quickly to a satin finish and can be intermixed with other Liquitex paints for a wide range of colors and effects. Build up color intensity or create subtle transparent glazes. — Layer and Blend
Clean your brushes, palette knives, and other tools immediately after use with soap and water. Dried acrylic paint can be difficult to remove, so prompt cleaning is essential to maintain your art supplies. — Clean Up
