Golden Fluids contain the same pigment level as the Heavy Body Acrylics, but are more pourable and viscous. A similar consistency could be achieved by diluting any acrylic with water, but it wouldn't have the binding strength or brilliancy of an undiluted Golden Fluid. Fluids offer very strong intense colors with very thin consistencies, making them a great choice for glazing, staining, tinting gels and watercolor and airbrush applications. Fluids offer a smooth creamy consistency that loads brushes easily and flows smoothly, while maintaining the opacity and color strength of the Heavy Body colors.
