Liquitex Basics Acrylic, 118 ml Tube - Cadmium Red Light Hue

Lovely colour and texture

Love these acrylics. Fairly affordable if you create large pieces as I do and will last a very long time if you work on small projects. Good coverage but you may need to apply two or three coats to achieve athe maximum metallic shine but as with all their metallic paint it does what it says on the tin ....or in this case the tube.

The item is perfect just what I'd expect.That is not my issue and I mention it here because the comment on the delivery was multiple choice and no option was available for what I found annoying. I have no issue with them leaving the package on the front doorstep, but please don't say you handed it to the resident when you didn't!The paint lovely, and arrived quickly, no issues with that or the seller.

I write this review based on my decades of experiences as a consumer and user of this type of item.I have always enjoyed doing small lightweight activities preferring for example making a jewellery box to a blanket box.Lockdown has led to new activities including the making of latex moulds and decorating same.Latex paint is said to have weather resistant quality so I picked if for the variety of fairy doors and similar that I have been making with my bright three year old granddaughter.There is a very wide range of colour, these paints intended for real art.Red, Blue, etc, all the primary and many in between with made up names for a tone of whic ever colour.They mix fairly well and stay useable without getting lumpy for about 20 minutes in small quantities.Sold in Jars and tubes through Amazon they are really quite expensive as opposed to high street shop prices,!especially the works at less than 50% of Amazon cost.Even allowing for my prime delivery convenience the cost saving if you can get to the shop is hugeOverall. EXPENSIVE but Bright colours, mix well and dry on a variety of surfaces quickly.

Used on my gellie paint . Makes great prints .Great colours available as well as white !

I adored this paint! It went on like butter. And fully opaque. Beautiful striking bright red. Very happy with my purchase. Super fast delivery. Very affordable prices. And this is a large tube aswel. Will last a Very long time. I used 1 single squirt to do the whole background of my painting thats it! All I needed and I did 2 coats aswel. (Didn't need 2 coats but i just liked painting with it ha ha) Fabulous!

I personally love this product. It mixes well with other colours (some whites turn the colour grey and/or dull )I'm no expert, however I find its quality is better than the price. Its thick, where as I have bought similar priced paint and found it to be thin and runny.Value for money 100%Doesn't turn the colours into grey and muddyFast delivery (depending on stock)Easy to use tubeWorth every pennyWill buy again

I am sampling various brands of acrylics and I find this Liquitex cadmium red so vibrant against other well known brands. I'm building a new set of artist materials from student quality mediums and I the difference is showing!This basics brand, does very well for its status.
