Liquitex is EXPENSIVE, but is it worth it? Today I test out and demonstrate their Soft Body and Heavy Body acrylic paints, showing you their coverage and texture. Let's go!

Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!
We haven't had a chance to test and review painting products for a little while. Recently, one of the art shop reps can around and gave us a few sample packs of Liquitex Professional Acrylic paints and mediums. Today I got to open and test them out!
Due to only having these sample packs, I mainly wanted to see what they look like, what their purpose was, and how well they could cover other paint. For me, that's important, but you may have other preferences (feel free to share in the comments below!)
Have you used these before? Maybe you have some good ideas about how to use them in your own art!

This video was sooo helpful omg!! You're one of the few KZfaqrs i've found who gave really good demonstrations and explained the paints really well. My boyfriend is a painter and I was trying to get him some new paints for Christmas, but I didn't know the difference between soft and heavy body. This video answered literally all the questions I had. Thanks!!!

Just got a small primary set today of the heavy body, so thanks for the demo! Looking forward to seeing your mediums video. 🎨

*Liquitex is a professional acrylic paint, costs A LOT more than other acrylics, so I'm here to try it before you buy it!* Next week, I'll look at a range of their mediums you can use with acrylics. Some are cool, some are... kind of useless? Hope to see you next week for that one! 😂❤️ Jess

Thankyou for this. I love Liquitex! I just bought an art course and they recommend the Liquitex heavy body, which I’ve never used as I use the regular paint in varying brands, so I’ve been doing research on it. And I found this video - imagine my surprise to hear an Aussie accent! And you’re just down the road - I’m in Brisbane! So new Sub here… Cheers

Sorry off topic put the tomato behind you looks to have a green spider on it. I know it is the cap on it but funny to me.😂

Haha! I wasn't sure what you meant, so I went and had a look and yes! It's the caps/tops of the tomatoes. That's funny! thank goodness it's not actual spiders: I'm a bit arachnophobic 💀

Thank you. How do you dilute? You should have extended the view with the additives.

Do you prefer liquitex soft body or golden fluid acrylic ?

@GoldCoastArtSchool 10 ай бұрын

I've heard of Golden, but haven't seen it here! So I'll have to vote Liquitex for now 🙂

Ahh, unfortunately no idea. But I'm sure some KZfaqrs have experimented and made some great tutorials about their results 🙂👍

I recommend Permaset. I’ve used it since the 80s. You can paint it on, or screen print with it, set it with an iron, and it’s permanent. - I’ve also used it on paper maché (NOT what it’s meant for!) when I made sculptures, in the 90s - and it’s never faded!
