Basics Acrylics give you the perfect balance of quality and economy. Made for all artists, Basics Acrylics are student-quality – this means they are made with the same lightfast, fine art pigments used in the Liquitex Professional range, but just a lighter load. Ideal for so many uses: if you’re a beginner, if you’re on a budget, perfect for underpainting or sketching if you’re a serious artist, and even for colour scoping and exploration if you’re a creative professional.!

This regular 1.7 cm canvas is coated with high-quality gesso. It is mounted on a kiln-dried wooden stretcher frame and stapled on the back.

Snow brushes are made using longer—lasting synthetic hog hair bristles that cooperate better than natural bristles across a broad range of mediums. Modeled to look and feel like hog bristle brushes, this series is perfect for painters who quickly switch from oils to acrylics or water—soluble oils.

Watercolour: Clean with warm water.

Oil: Dip the paintbrush in a solvent such as Taltine. Clean with warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.

Acrylic: Clean with warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.
