I searched high and low for this large set of 48 colors. The tube size is generous and the colors are true quality! Delivery was quick! (3 days!) The only problem I had was when puncturing the seal for the first time on the tubes the paint tended to spurt out as if under pressure. This may, however, be due to the fact that I live at high altitude (6000 ft.) This tip may help for those of you who have the same problem: Use a safety pin to puncture the seal instead of the point on the lid. Leave the safety pin in for a few seconds to allow the pressure to release slowly. When you remove the pin you shouldn't lose any paint.

This has to be one of the best purchases I've made. The colors are great and it gives you a wonderful samples to work with. The paint covers nicely and works well even with the modeling paste on canvas.

This is a great acrylic paint set for someone starting art class or the new hobbyist. Gives you all you need and there is a lot of paint in each tube.

Although they were expensive, these acrylic paints worked amazing. I am a 13-year-old girl who loves to paint, and these were the highest quality of paint I have ever purchased! I would recommend these to anyone with 45 bucks! A+++

I have painting in my blood...which kinduv makes it hard to donate...but my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother were all very accomplished painters. I, on the other hand, tend to dabble and because I see myself as more or less a dabbler, I really don't find it necessary to go all out on products.

These paints fit the bill very nicely for what I like to do. They go on rather smoothly and they don't tend to glob up like some paints do. They also tend to wash out of clothing very easily as my wife can attest. I happened to sit on a tube of brown paint....yeah, tell me about it...it was a bummer, especially when I was wearing white shorts at the time...

But when I'm not going for the skidmark look, I like to use these paints on canvas as well as on heavy cardboard. Like I said, I just dabble but it's better the dabble you know than the dabble you don't...

Besides, would I lie to you? I've done 300+ reviews on this here website and I'm not about to start. I have a reputation. It might not be very good, but I have one.

I think I would even recommend these paints to someone who is accomplished. I like the way they mix. By the way, did you know that when you mix blue and red you get purple? I know that because there is now a big purple stain on one of my good shirts.

My wife is going to kill me...

i love this paint. it lasts for a long time, because you really dont need that much and it spreads wonderfully. the only thing is some colors (not very many) are a little different from the tube color, which is to be expected i guess. but overall i love it

I am using these paints for wargame miniature painting and am happy with the results. They mix well, but you need to use a flow enhancer when painting minis. I use my own mix, but Liquitex makes a product called "Flow-Aid" that is designed for that purpose. I like the vibrancy of the colors, and this box comes with several colors that are just slightly different, allowing for quick wash/drybrush combos. Also comes with 4 metallic colors and 2 blacks (mars and ivory).

Purchased as a gift for my artist wife. She absolutely loved it. Great assortment of colors not easily found together. Definitely recommended.

As a beginner to acrylic painting I found this set to give me a variety of paints for the price. I did my research at local stores and found this to be the best buy. And nowhere in local stores could I find this amount of paints in one set. There are plenty of paints to keep you painting for a while. Glad I bought it!

Ok so I decided to get a larger set because I'm not sure which colors I'll use the most yet. I'm yet to use the paint but I can say I was not impressed when I opened up the tubes. Every tube of paint I've ever bought has been completely filled with paint. So I should have been paying for 22mL of paint in each tube. However when I opened the tubes there was added air to make the tubes appear as if they were filled with paint but where instead only half to 3/4 of the way full. I do not recommend buying this set. Stick with a smaller set from a different seller (or several to find all the colors) I'm used to working from only about 12 color options in my classes and that's all you need to get all the tones you need.
