Description
Professional-grade, ultra‑thick acrylics for maximum texture control. Liquitex’s Heavy Body range is formulated with a high concentration of lightfast, fine‑art pigment and a satin finish, giving you paint that holds crisp brush strokes and palette‑knife marks instead of sinking or sliding. Liquitex That means better impasto, clearer texture, and more expressive surface effects—precisely what pros and ambitious hobbyists want.
Lightfast pigments, tested and certified, ensure archival permanence for gallery or long‑term work; Liquitex reports ASTM I or II ratings for their pigments, aimed at decades of colour stability, with the usual caveat that metallics or fluorescents can be less lightfast.
True professional set: 12 popular, classic colours that cover primaries, earth tones, and useful specialty shades, plus two tubes of Titanium White for mixing and highlights. You can paint nearly anything with this core palette without needing to buy extra colours immediately.
