Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Paints

Liquitex developed the first water based artist acrylic products in 1955 and has always been concerned with the needs of the professional artist. Liquitex products are formulated by a team of chemists and artists that allows them to make the most versatile, intense, highly loaded, and permanent colors possible.

Range-specific handling characteristics are established so that every Liquitex paint feels right – never too sticky or slippery. The low-odor acrylic resin base represents the latest in technology, offering increased open time and producing colors of great clarity with very low wet-to-dry value shift. The paint films are durable, non-yellowing, UV resistant, water-resistant and pH neutral when dry.

Heavy Body Artist Color, previously referred to as High Viscosity, has a thick consistency for traditional art techniques using brushes or knives, as well as for experimental, mixed media, collage and printmaking applications. Impasto applications retain crisp brush stroke and knife marks. Good surface drag provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open-working time. High pigment load produces rich, brilliant, permanent color.
