Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics

"My choice for over 50 years" - Cisle Studio (Belfast, Maine)

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. Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Colors are made with high pigment loads, which produce rich, brilliant, permanent color. Impasto applications retain crisp brush stroke and knife marks. Good surface drag provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open-working time. Please note: packaging style may vary.

The NEW Cadmium-Free range carries an AP (Approved Product) Seal from the The Art and Creative Materials Institute, Inc. (ACMI). ACMI-certified product seals (AP Approved Product and CL Cautionary Labeling) indicate that these products have been evaluated by a qualified toxicologist and are labelled in accordance with federal and state laws.

Cadmium-FREE Colors: The Colart Innovation & Development laboratory applied several tests to demonstrate that the Cadmium-Free range is technically on par with the equivalent cadmium colors, for example:

• Lightfastness to assess longevity
• Color mass tone for brightness and overall match
• Color reduction 10:1 with Titanium White to compare color strength and shade when mixed
• Viscosity and rheology for handling properties
• Specific gravity to test weight
• Opacity check over black and white test card to assess coverage
