Liquitex BASICS is the brand's student-grade acrylic line, sitting below its professional Heavy Body paints. This 250ml jar of Primary Yellow uses a water-based, medium-viscosity formula that holds brush marks and blends without thinning out. It is aimed at beginners, students and classrooms that want a large, forgiving pot of paint rather than small tubes. Against artist-grade acrylics it has fewer and less concentrated pigments, so mixes can look duller and coverage is thinner, but it costs far less per volume and is easy to clean up.
