Heavy Body Acrylics were introduced by Liquitex in 1955, establishing what has become the most popular type of artists' medium. It has a rich, thick yet smooth consistency with pigment-rich colors, ideal for impasto and texture. The lightfast paint dries to a satin finish and retains crisp brush strokes and knife marks. The low-odor 100% acrylic resin base gives you increased open time and colors of great clarity and vibrancy, with minimal wet-to-dry shift. The paint film is highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing, UV-resistant and water-resistant when dry.
The 12-Color Essentials Set includes one 22ml tube each of yellow medium azo, ultramarine blue (red shade), napthol red light, yellow oxide, transparent burnt sienna, transparent raw umber, pthalo green (blue shade), cerulean blue hue, dioxazine purple, titanium white and ivory black.
