Golden's original line of acrylic paint is known for its exceptionally smooth, thick consistency, and for its excellent permanency and lightfastness. Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Colors (with the exception of a few balanced primaries and blended colors) are composed from pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion vehicle, using no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes.
Each color is formulated differently, depending on the nature of the pigment. Colors that tolerate higher pigment "loads" dry to a more opaque, matte finish, while colors that are more reactive and do not accept high pigment loading dry to a glossy, more transparent finish. A hand-painted color chart is available on request.
Multiple Sizes Available — Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylics are also available in 2 oz, 5 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 32 oz, and 128 oz.
Gift Idea — Students and professionals at all levels appreciate Golden Heavy Body Acrylics. A variety of introductory and gift sets are available. See Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Sets for pictures and more detailed specifications of these sets.
Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.
Warning — Some colors contain pigments, such as cadmium salts, that are toxic, and should be used only by persons who are old enough to follow instructions for safe use and clean-up. Cautionary labels and warnings should be followed strictly. Do not apply toxic colors with an airbrush or sprayer.
