You sure have a good sell for the results of that paint.  I wouldn't mind giving them a try... will have to look into sourcing them in Canada though.  So far my efforts have not yielded promising results...

They have a pretty extensive colour range.  Which ones have you tried?  Are there any you like or dislike?  Any experience with their metallics?

I'm always impressed by painters who can use these bright colors and strong contrasts with such eficience and balance. Not speaking of the obvious masterized painting technic.

These are Liquitex Professional Acrylic Inks, which have different properties than other inks. The main difference is the acrylic medium they use, which makes them very esay to mix with paint, blend and make washes and glazes from.

It can be thought of as very saturated, transparent liquid paint. Really, one could make many opaque colored acrylic paints by just mixing the ink with opaque shades. This is something I like to do as the ink makes the paint smoother and blend better also.
Thanks. I may well try these when I have some cash to throw around on experiments.
