Lightfastness | How long will it resist fading?

Each pigment is rated on scale by the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). Liquitex paints are all rated ASTM I (excellent) or II (very good) and considered permanent and lightfast for 50-100+ years in gallery conditions. Our metallic and fluorescent colors are naturally less lightfast.

Opacity/Transparency | We communicate opacity/transparency clearly on our packaging based on three categories:

Opaque: these colors do not allow light to pass through the color layer and offer the best coverage or hiding power.
Semi-opaque: these allow for some light to pass through the color layer and sit between opaque and transparent colors
Transparent: these colors offer the least coverage and allow light to pass through the color layer to the surface below.
Series:
Pigments come from a variety of sources and have different prices according to their rarity, processing and milling costs. We group our colors into a 'series' pricing structure according to how much each one takes to make. Series 1 colors contain the most inexpensive pigments, while Series 4 and 5 color contain the most expensive pigments.

MEET LIQUTEX HEAVY BODY ACRYLIC

HIGHER VISCOSITY. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Unlock your potential with thick, high viscosity, pigment-rich professional acrylic color.

Formulated with a high concentration of lightfast artist-quality pigment and a satin finish, Heavy Body Acrylic gives you permanent color with crisp brush strokes and bold knife marks.

Never too slippery, or too sticky, take your creativity to new peaks with satisfyingly rich color, perfect for impasto, blending and all kinds of pro painting techniques.

HIGH VISCOSITY

Satisfyingly thick and rich. This is our highest viscosity paint. Good surface drag gives excellent handling and blending characteristics, with increased open-working time. Never too slippery, or too sticky. Heavy Body Acrylic delivers intense color in the ideal consistency, for a range of techniques.

ARCHIVAL

On a client’s wall. In a gallery. Your work needs to stay as you intended. As with all Liquitex products, the pigments in Heavy Body have passed extensive tests for lightfastness. Each pigment is rated according to the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM), and we only use pigments rated ASTM I or II*. This means your work will have the greatest archival permanence possible – at least 50 years+ in gallery conditions – with no color shifting or fading, to stay vibrant and true.

*Some pigments, such as fluorescents, are not rated

At the forefront of acrylic innovation, Heavy Body represents the latest in acrylic resin technology. The low-odor acrylic resin base gives you increased open time and colors of great clarity and vibrancy, with minimal wet-to-dry shift. The paint film is highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing, UV-resistant and water-resistant when dry.

PURE PIGMENTS

The finest quality artists’ pigments used in high concentration. Heavy Body Acrylic is known for its rich, permanent color. Our chemists use the latest basket bead-mill technology to bring out the best in every pigment. Tiny reinforced ceramic beads give fine dispersion, great color development, strength and brightness. Every color is individually formulated to allow the unique character of each pigment to express itself – whether it’s naturally opaque, semi-opaque or transparent.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Other creatives have asked us...

WHAT ARE THE ‘WHAT WOULD YOU CREATE?’ SETS?

Nine curated sets. A lot of ways to make something unexpected. Each set brings together Liquitex colors, mediums and, in selected sets, tools and surfaces to help you explore trending palettes, try new techniques and follow your ideas wherever they go.

WHO ARE THE SETS FOR?

Anyone with an idea. Or half an idea. Or no idea yet. The collection is designed for curious beginners, experienced artists and every kind of creator in between.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN EACH SET?

It depends on where you want your creativity to take you. Some sets focus on curated color palettes, while others bring together paints, mediums, tools and surfaces for techniques like 3D painting, fabric painting, fabric staining and mixed media. Check the individual set details for the full lineup.

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE TO USE THESE SETS?

Nope. The sets are made for experimentation, whether you’re trying acrylics for the first time, testing a new technique or pushing your practice somewhere different. Start with an idea. Change it halfway through. We’re not keeping score.

CAN I MIX THE PRODUCTS IN MY SET WITH OTHER LIQUITEX PRODUCTS?

Yes. Liquitex acrylic colors, mediums and tools are designed to give you the freedom to experiment across formats. Mix, layer and combine them to see where things go.

WHY DOES MY SET INCLUDE A DIFFERENT BRUSH FROM THE ONE SHOWN OR LISTED?

Some sets may feature a Liquitex Basics Shader Brush instead of the listed Liquitex Basics Bright #6 Brush. Same creative potential, slightly different tool in your hand. Set contents may vary, so check your pack to see what’s inside.

CAN I USE THE SETS FOR TECHNIQUES BEYOND THE ONES SHOWN?

Absolutely. The project ideas and techniques are starting points, not instructions from the creativity police. Use the products to explore your own combinations, surfaces and ways of working, following individual product guidance where needed.

WHERE CAN I FIND TUTORIALS AND INSPIRATION?

Right here on Liquitex.com and across Liquitex social channels. Look out for technique tutorials, quick how-to’s and project inspiration designed to help you get started. Then take it somewhere we didn’t expect.
