Best Acrylic Paint | Brand Comparison | Quinacridone Magenta

Acrylic paint comparison video comparing eight different #acrylic brands to determine the best acrylic paint. 4 of which are single pigment colors and the additional 4 I just thought would be fun to add to have a larger selection to be reviewed. The brands are Ateleir Interactive Acrylic, Liquitex Basics, Artist's Loft Professionals (High Viscosity Acrylics), Golden Heavy Body Acrylics, Winsor and Newton, Academy Acrylic (Grumbacher), Royal & Langnickel, and Blick Artists. The single pigment color that we are reviewing is PR122 which is Quinacridone Magenta.
This video is in no ways sponsored by any of the brands or the stores I purchased these paints from.
This is my first time painting with the Atelier and Blick Artists. This is my second time painting with Artist's loft professionals, Royal & Langnickel and Academy.
In this comparison video I will be looking at color as is, total coverage, detailed coverage, the ability for a paint to create and maintain a texture, tinting ability, the ability to neutralize a complementary color, price, finished sheen and the difference in the paint tube name.
If you're like me I'm always curious how the different brands will do but sometimes it's hard to branch out from the ones I'm comfortable with. I have often been standing in an art isle (or online shopping) debating branching out but afraid to spend my money on a total dud! What if the paint sucks? How will it mix? What if it dries in a different sheen? What if it takes 6+ coats to cover another color and costs more but performs less?
I always enjoy making these videos as I'm not sure who will end up performing well and who wont. Had some surprising results in today's tests. Some brands I'll be using again and others will not be added to my painting tool box.

This is a proper comparison! Well done, the best I've seen so far 👏👏 thank you

[@RachelleByersArt]

Thank you 😊

[@SteelBlueVision]

I love these single pigment comparison videos!! Subscribed and upvoted...It's too bad that Liquitex Professional got left out. I would have loved to see it vs Golden and Windsor&Newton

[@RachelleByersArt]

Hi @SteelBlueVision! I will try to include those three together in the future. I try to limit the brands compared to 8 or less 😊 thanks so much for watching

[@fla01003]

I currently use Liquitex Professional. I too would love to see the comparison between Liquitex Professional, Golden and Windsor and Newton Professional as they all seem high quality. I just wonder how they differ.

[@fla01003]

Thanks for this video. I think the Golden is beautiful to look at in this comparison.

[@serenityjewel]

I'm so impressed with Royal!!! I had no idea!

[@lizziequinteros5577]

También yo, hay un distribuidor aquí en mi país revisare su catalogo. 😮

[@lesliesmith7312]

I would say in the blues, violets and greens, black and white you’re fine going cheap. But with yellows you need to buy a higher quality color that has more pigment in it

[@erin758]

true! I bought a lot of different yellows from pebeo and liquitex and from all other brands for testing. I think liquitex HB and Amsterdam are decent choices, but I have settled to Marie's and Mont Marte's dimension acrylics.

[@starfire139]

This was helpful! I'm a beginner with acrylics and inherited a bunch of colors from a family member who graduated from art school, but some colors were missing. I wasn't sure which brand to go for, especially taking into account the cost as well.

[@RachelleByersArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@proficyink2114]

Your amazing I love these comparisons. A bit costly to do but brilliant. Thank you

[@RachelleByersArt]

Definitely costly to do! Especially since some of these colors aren’t ones I use on the regular

[@SwedePotato314]

Wanna know something crazy? I’m an artist and my name is Rachel. My maiden name is Byers. This channel absolutely threw me for the biggest loop ever.

[@1DumbSquirrel]

Your names not Rachel it's swedepotato silly

[@solidhalon]

It seems that Roya & Langnickel is actually a decent deal.

[@RachelleByersArt]

I was happy with how well it did

[@tonygatos1]

This is an incredibly informative video. Thank you for posting!

[@RachelleByersArt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@popesuavecitoxii2379]

Thank you for this detailed review! It's hard to get a feel for these paints when shopping online, of course. Videos like yours are extremely helpful.

[@RachelleByersArt]

You are so welcome @Pope Suavecito XII! That's why I've created them....as I wish there had been options for me when I was originally trying out brands. It can be quite daunting to be standing in the paint isle without a clue on which paints will work best for the piece you're working on.

[@alizafar2624]

I love quinacridone magenta. It glazes nicely, high tinting strength, creates the best pinks with titanium white

[@RachelleByersArt]

I also love quinacridone magenta for the same reasons you mentioned! Thanks for watching @Ali Zafar

[@alizafar2624]

@@RachelleByersArt could you do dioxazine purple PV23 next?

[@LIBERTYVIEWS]

SO HELPFUL!! Would you please consider including Holbein pro-brand in one of your next comparison videos?

[@RachelleByersArt]

I will start searching for that

[@paulwoodford1984]

Ateleir Interactive Acrylic is amazing. it can be reactivated on the pallete and the canvas. It’s the perfect combination between all mediums.

[@victoryhillstudioanimalpor2625]

Great video

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

I can,t choose between my favoriete acrylic paint from liquitex basics and the Winsor and Newton permanente magenta. Both look stunning for one cote coverage off magenta paint. So far so good

[@Yapmaster3k]

I think blicks artist has a pr122 magenta, but it’s called quinacridone violet? It’s also a single pigment!

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Really thorough, thank you, Rachelle. ❤️ And yes, you pronounced _Atelier_ almost like a Parisian - Ah-TELL-yay. 🇫🇷

[@RachelleByersArt]

Oh thank you!

[@GingahSnapsArt]

Very well done comparison. I'd actually challenge the results of the Detailed Coverage bit - if a half dozen layers of a transparent paint still let you see the detail, that's not a bad thing! It's a transparent pigment with transparent binder. Any paint which does cover it after a few layers might be more likely to have filler/binder in it. Your results are still super helpful though. And interesting to see

[@RachelleByersArt]

Thanks so much!

[@DarkisArt]

Excellent review! Thank you for making it!

[@RachelleByersArt]

Thank you for watching!

Une vidéo intéressante sur ces différentes marques, mais la peinture que j'utilise et qui est l'une des meilleures n'est pas présente dans vos comparaisons, c'est la Sennelier extra-fine qui est incroyable. Une très bonne continuation à vous.

[@RachelleByersArt]

I will look into that brand.

[@jojojo8835]

4:15 NB: Winsor&Newton does two magentas, and the other one is single pigment PV19 (called Process Magenta) But I love your scientific method for comparison, VERY useful resource, especially with the neutralising complimentary! Also I’m interested in your choice of green, as PG7 pthalo green is usually given as the complimentary for pv19. How did you choose it?

[@RachelleByersArt]

Thanks for the info @Jo Jojo. I choose that color of green because I felt like it would show the results better and better aligned on the color wheel as been a complimentary color IMO

[@SomethingImpromptu]

Great comparison. One note though- it doesn’t make a lot of sense to compare prices from different websites. For example, I’ve found consistently that the same products that are maybe $10 on Michael’s are only maybe $5-7 on Blick. Of course, Michael’s does have coupons all the time that bring the price you’ll actually pay a litttle closer (still usually not as good as Blick, but not such an extreme rip-off as the highly marked up prices they list)… But as far as list prices, it’s not like the prices at one site will be equivalent to the other, so this adds a whole other dimension that you’d need to account for (in addition to the different in paint volume per tube across different brands) in order to actually translate this into a fair, “all things being equal” comparison. Using an MSRP or something like that would probably be a simpler way to price them for comparison; otherwise, using the same site for all of them. But yeah, this is quite consistent with my experience, at least with Golden (very high pigment load, top quality, so it’s darker unless you water it down) & Liquitex Basics.

[@cheryljantz9001]

Very interesting! Thank you!

[@RachelleByersArt]

My pleasure @Cheryl Jantz

[@Paintsplash4]

PV19 is Quin Violet, not Quin Magenta. What was Blick thinking?

[@robertkat]

Now, 2 years later! What is the best now?

[@EnjoyDrawingwithMary]

great and detailed review Rachelle :) love swatching :D

[@RachelleByersArt]

Thank you so much for watching @Enjoy Drawing with Mary. I love swatching as well :)

[@amberkimble6427]

i love ur pigment review vids! theyre super helpful for when i make a mask so i know what brand to use! but like what @SteelBlueVision said, i'd love to see Liquitex Professional vs Golden because they're both good brands, but im trying to only stick to one brand so that i dont have to keep going to different stores or websites to get 5 different brands of paint, so ur vids are super helpful!

[@RachelleByersArt]

Thank you so much! Is there a pigment you’d like me to review next?

[@amberkimble6427]

not really, but thanks for asking! @@RachelleByersArt

[@SpectrumArtStudio]

Wow such a detailed review - thanks for this as the common complaint that I get from students is that some brands are too 'watery' or 'opaque' so it is really useful to see all these brands tested out side by side in a dark colour Big Like👍🏻 Really enjoyed the content - Great work thanks for sharing✨🌈✨🌈✨🌈

Have you ever tried the TruArt brand of acrylic products? Made in Canada, it’s sold through various art suppliers in Canada and the USA. Part of their line is named Rheotech.

I honestly don’t have a lot of experience with paint pouring so I am not sure. I would hate to steer you in the wrong direction

[@typebymayank]

Hi! Do Winsor n Newton Acrylic colors work same on black paper as they work on a white one?

[@RachelleByersArt]

@typebymayank, I have not tried all of the Winsor n Newton paints. I would suggest paying close attention the the transparency level of each tube. Some will be more opaque and cover more than others

I don't know english well so I can't understand what she said well so can u say that which firm win?

[@joanwood9480]

Golden performed the best, but also the most expensive. Pretty much the Atelier was the next best. Not as expensive

[@julienfauvaux2055]

an other good rewiew, Not surprise that golden Do better than other, golden is the one that put the righ amount of pigments in the tube Golden is very hard to beat in term of quality, this is my first choice brand, not only for the paint on the tube but for their customer service, website, and Always improuvement to Make the best liquitex basic is very poor pigmented, for nearly all color, blicks poor pigmented to as i've Seen for quinacridon magenta

[@RachelleByersArt]

I have always been impressed with how well Golden does, and agree that I feel that liquitex basics is under pigmented. I was honestly surprised at just how far off the blick artists paint was. Thanks so much for watching @julien fauvaux

[@julienfauvaux2055]

@@RachelleByersArt i make test to, and there IS no brand i have test that do better than golden, some Can be close on some pigments, but none of them IS better, for exemple i have 4 brands for pyrol orange PO73, the best is golden and Windsor et newton artis't acrylic, liquitex professionnal is not to far, the différence between liquitex basic and golden is insanely huge, to have the same level of pigmentation than liquitex basic, i have to add a lot of medium to golden, i think if you test New pigments i am pretty sure that golden will continue to trust the first place

[@burkholdst.rudderberg3574]

A good artist can overcome the shortcomings of any paint and good paint will not improve an artists talent! I have been using Acrylics for over 50 years and I remember most of them were either made in Europe or the U.S.A.. I currently only use Grumbacher Acrylics as they are made in the U.S.A.! ( Golden Acrylics are still U.S. made ) I do not buy Communist Chinese art supplies! When Liquitex Acrylics were made in the U.S. and Winsor Newton were made in France, I used them - no longer! ( Thank God Arches paper is still made in France and Faber-Castell colored pencils are still made in Germany! ( Stabilo watercolor pencils are made in the Czech Republic and ShinHan watercolors are still made in South Korea - both very underrated brands! Good video!

[@RachelleByersArt]

Thank you for watching @Burkhold St. Rudderberg. I would agree and that's part of why I choose to make these videos...so that artists (at any level) would have an understanding of the performance of the brand they choose to purchase.

Why you do not use Chinese art supplies？ Because　ｏｆ　political　reasons?

[@Yinyara]

​@@user-pj5xj8oi5b I guess so. But people are not the same as their government, so I think it's a really strange reason why not to buy Chinese brands.
