## Description

Great prices on your favourite Office brands plus free delivery and returns on eligible orders.

Review: Great size and good quality - I only took up art recently and after some fast track self learning I have started to collect different materials and came across gesso, which I had never heard of before. I am glad I found this one as it primes my canvasses perfectly. I have also used it to make a rextured base on a canvas and to transfer a picture on another. I intend on finding other uses for it.
Review: Good product - A little thicker than I wanted but really good product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between Basics and Professional paints?**
A: Liquitex Basics and Professional paints differ in pigment load, consistency choices, and range of colors. Liquitex Basics paints strike a balance between affordability or quality, being more economical due to the lower pigment content.

**Q: Are Basics paints different opacities, like your Professional range?**
A: Liquitex Basics paints also have different opacity levels. Check the label for the square symbol: a black square means opaque, an empty square means transparent, and a half-filled square means semi-opaque (⬕)

**Q: Can I get different consistency of Liquitex Basics paint?**
A: Liquitex Basics paints maintain a consistent medium viscosity across all colors for versatility. We also offer Basics Acrylic Fluid for a more fluid viscosity, and Mediums which adapt the character of the paint, changing viscosity and texture.

**Q: Why would I use Liquitex Basics Acrylic Fluid product in addittion to Liquitex Basics Acrylic**
A: Liquitex Basics Acrylic Fluid offers artists a paint that is more fluid and flowing. This viscosity can be beneficial when covering large surfaces quickly, as the fluid nature allows it to spread evenly without leaving visible brushstrokes.
