Golden Heavy Body Acrylics

The first acrylic colors offered by Golden, Golden Heavy Body Acrylics are known for their exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency. Heavy Body Acrylics are the most similar to oil paint in viscosity and feel. They have the ability to stand up and retain brushstrokes or palette knife marks on canvas.

The Heavy Body palette includes a large assortment of unique pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion available to professional artists. These colors offer excellent permanency and lightfastness. There are no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes added. 

Each Heavy Body color formula reflects the qualities of its pigment. Colors that tolerate a higher pigment load dry to a more opaque, matte finish. Colors that are more reactive and do not allow as much pigment loading tend to have a glossier, more transparent, finish. Because Heavy Body colors contain no matting agents, the gloss of each color will be different.  

Use in combination with Golden Acrylic Mediums.
