Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Colors (previously called High Viscosity) are professional-quality acrylics that have an exceptionally smooth, thick, buttery consistency, ideal for traditional art techniques that employ brushes and painting knives, as well as experimental, mixed-media, collage, and printmaking applications.

A high pigment load produces rich, brilliant, permanent color, combined with good surface drag that provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open working time. When used for thick and impasto applications and techniques, Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics retain crisp brushstrokes and knife marks.

Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics remain flexible when dry, and thick films remain free of cracks and chips over time.

Multiple Sizes Available — Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics are also available in 2 oz Tubes, 4.65 oz Tubes, 7 oz Tubes, and 16 oz Jars.

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.

I'm happy with them!

Comments about Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Sets:

I am just experimenting with impasto for the first time, and I really enjoy these paints! I didn't know what I was missing using regular acrylics. This starter set is fun because it has a nice color range, with warm and cool choices for each, the new quinacrodones, and the tubes are big enough to do a few medium sized paintings, rather than the 11 ml. tubes that give you enough for one.

My favorite paint to use for the past twenty-five + years. Never any problems. Super smooth and thick. Very vivid color. Currently, I'm making art dolls out of seven ounce canvas.

Comments about Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Acrylics, 2 oz:

As a portrait artist I need reliable deep pigment for blending natural looking colors. These pigments are great. Dick Blicks prices are over half of any in store's I could find.

Comments about Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Acrylics, 2 oz:

Liquitex heavy body acrylic paints are always reliable and of the utmost quality. I get fantastic results with them! I've tried the majority of artist quality acrylics and Liquitex remains my staple. Many of the colors are nicer than those offered by higher-priced brands. They are a real pleasure to work with. Highest recommendations!

Liqui[*]

Pros

Cons

Comments about Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Acrylics, 2 oz:

liqui[*] artist acrylic paint should be student grade paint. The body and feel is horrible and the color shift is horrible. The Winsor & Newton student grade paint is 10 millions better then this junk. Don't waste your money this junk. If you want top shelf acrylic paints get Winsor & Newton Artist Acrylics.

Old Faithful and Fun

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Acrylics, 2 oz:

I've been using these paints for years and love the way they respond to a palet knife as well as the way they move with a brush. They're thick enough to stay where you want them and very durable. I've got paintings decades old that have been stored in all kinds of conditions and still look great. My friends think I'm odd but I just won't use anything else.

love this paint

By Jennifer the Illustrator

from Brentwood TN

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Liquitex Heavy Body Professional Acrylics, 2 oz:

I've been painting since I was a little kid and this is the best most consistent brand of acrylics. Because they come in plastic tubes the tubes don't crack and leak, or dry out- I just finished off a tube I had had for almost 20 years! A little goes a long way because they're so packed with pigment.

To kill the plasticy finish of them I use Liquitex gesso as mixing white- it mattes the finish is wonderfully opaque.

Comments about Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylics, 32 oz:

I was working on a 30x40 painting that required lots of texture. I did a lot of research and this was the best I found! It covers really well, relatively fast drying. I had lots of fun working with this paint!
