Imported directly from authorized US retailers, this paint ensures you receive authentic, high-performance art supplies. **Who Should Use It & Who Should Skip** — This paint is ideal for art students, beginners learning color theory, and professional artists exploring color or using it for underpainting. If you need a reliable, fade-resistant acrylic with good texture for canvas or paper, this is your choice. Skip if you require extremely fluid paints for pouring without mediums, or if you have a severe sensitivity to acrylic binders. For those seeking ultra-budget craft paints with lower pigment load, local Indian brands might seem cheaper but often lack the permanence and vibrancy of Liquitex BASICS. ## How to use 1. Ensure your canvas or paper is clean, dry, and free of dust. For acrylics, a primed surface is recommended. Apply a gesso primer if needed for optimal adhesion and paint consistency. — Prepare Your Surface 2. Squeeze desired amount onto a palette. Use a brush, palette knife, or sponge to apply the paint to your surface. Work in thin or thick layers as desired, noting the medium viscosity. — Apply the Paint 3. Allow layers to dry to the touch (approx. 15-30 minutes) before applying subsequent coats. Blend colors while wet for smooth transitions or layer dry colors for distinct effects. Intermix with other Liquitex paints for custom shades. — Layer and Blend 4. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water. Dried acrylic paint can be difficult to remove. Once dry, the paint is water-resistant. — Clean Up ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Binder | Acrylic Polymer Emulsion | | Pigment | Burnt Umber (Iron Oxide) | | Conforms to | ASTM D4236 | | Allergens | None listed | | Serving Size | N/A (Art Supply) | | Cost per use | 250 ml tube — ₹6.91 per ml | | Shelf life after opening | 12 months (typical for acrylic paints) | | Application | Apply with brush, palette knife, or other tools to desired surface. | | Drying Time | Dries to touch in 15-30 minutes, fully dry in 24 hours. | | Reapplication | Apply subsequent layers once previous layer is dry to touch. | | Contraindications | Not for consumption.
