## Why choose this product

- Professional Quality at an Accessible Price — Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint brings the trusted quality of Liquitex to a more accessible price point. Imported for Indian artists, this Hooker's Green Hue Permanent offers excellent lightfastness and archival permanence, ensuring your creations endure. While professional lines may have higher pigment load, BASICS provides a reliable, vibrant color with medium viscosity, perfect for everyday use, underpainting, or color exploration without compromising on quality.
- Who Should Use It & Who Should Skip — This paint is ideal for art students, beginners, hobbyists, and artists on a budget who need reliable, non-toxic acrylics. If you're sketching, underpainting, or exploring color palettes, BASICS is a great choice. Skip if you require the highest pigment concentration for intense opacity or specific professional-grade properties like extreme impasto texture. For fine art requiring maximum pigment load, consider Liquitex Professional series.

## How to use

1. Ensure your surface (canvas, paper, wood, etc.) is clean, dry, and properly primed for optimal adhesion and color vibrancy. — Prepare Your Surface
2. Use brushes, palette knives, or sponges to apply the paint. Apply thin coats for faster drying or thicker layers for texture. Thin with water or mediums if needed. — Apply the Paint
3. Liquitex BASICS acrylics dry quickly to the touch. Allow adequate drying time between layers. Full curing takes approximately 24-72 hours for maximum durability. — Allow to Dry and Cure
