Liquitex Acrylic Paint and Mediums

Liquitex is an iconic name in the art world, renowned for inventing the first water-based acrylic paint in 1955. The brand was established by Henry Levison through his company, Permanent Pigments Company, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since its inception, Liquitex has been at the forefront of acrylic innovation, developing a wide range of products from heavy body paints to spray paints and markers for professional artists.

Today, the brand is owned by Colart, a leading international group in the fine arts industry. While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing operations were largely moved to France following its acquisition by Colart, which is headquartered in London. The brand continues to be a global leader, supplying high-quality, lightfast materials to artists worldwide, maintaining a legacy of innovation and chemical safety in the arts industry.
