Review: Acrylic Awesomeness in a Box! - I bought this set for myself way back in 2020, and let me tell you—these paints have been the ride-or-die of my creative life ever since. The color range? Chef’s kiss. From bold primaries to moody neutrals, every shade mixes like a dream and goes on smooth. The texture is buttery but not too thick, and it layers beautifully without turning into a crunchy mess. Also for a student paint the coverage is pretty good too! Whether I’m painting something majestic or just aggressively covering a canvas in “emotional red,” Liquitex never lets me down. Now, does it come with a storage case? Not exactly. It comes in a sturdy box that’s good for a while—but if you’re like me and treat your art supplies like treasure, you might eventually upgrade to a fancy case (or just pretend the box is a briefcase full of magical rainbow potions, no judgment). Bottom line: worth every penny. Great for beginners and pros. Just maybe hide it from friends who like to “borrow” art supplies and never return them. 😏🎨
Review: Great paint, missing 1 color though - I love the color and consistency. They are fantastic paints. My only complaint is I received 2 tubes of yellow oxide and did not get Naples yellow hue at all. No idea how to resolve this as the only option on desertcart is to return the whole set, which I have been using for a while before realizing the mistake.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the exact names of the colors included in this set?**
A: "Sigh" @Gingercook, primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow - no need to be ugly about it asking questions is how you learn  

Black is a shade and white is a tint. They also included green as the fifth member of this 5 pack, which is a secondary color and easily made yourself - would have been better to include an additional white. 

Of course the question doesn't specify which pack/package/bundle is being referred to. So, to answer that question it's best to always read the descriptions as they can change depending on which option you choose.

**Q: are these water soluable?**
A: Yes any acrylic paint is water soluble also you can water down the paint as well if you want to spread it out

**Q: If I get paint on my clothes, does this paint wash out easily?**
A: Hi!  Good question.  Here is what I have found to be true. Dried acrylic paint is there forever. But, if you wash it out immediately...IMMEDIATELY it will come out.  There maybe a teeny bit left but, most of it will come out.

**Q: I recently read that cheaper tubes of paint usually contain less pigment. How's the opacity of this brand?**
A: This is the companies student grade paint. They also carry a professional grade. As they have stated, this company makes their student grade the same as the professional grade with the only exception being the amount of pigment added. Thus you have the same lightfast, opacity, and quality as the pro grade just with a bit less pigment added. 
If you have previously painted using this brand and find it has less pigment, well then you most likely used their professional grade in the past.
