A 12-tube starter set of Liquitex BASICS acrylic paint, each tube 118 mL. The paint is water-based, medium-bodied and holds brush marks and texture, and the pigments are rated lightfast. It suits beginners, students and classrooms that want a broad palette without buying artist-grade tubes. Against student rivals, the tubes are larger than the small starter sets many brands sell, and the line is a step below Liquitex Heavy Body in pigment load and coverage.
