Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint, Yellow Light Hansa, 2-oz (59ml) Tube

Since the development of the first water-based artist acrylic paints in 1955, Liquitex has focused on providing all the tools needed by the professional artist. Liquitex is the only acrylic paint brand to offer four uniquely different ranges of professional acrylic color to suit the needs of the artist, with range-specific handling characteristics established to ensure that each Liquitex paint feels just right – never too sticky or slippery.

All Liquitex products are formulated by a unique team of chemists and artists, allowing the company to make the most versatile ranges of intense, highly-loaded, permanent colors possible. The low-odor acrylic resin base represents the latest in acrylic resin technology, offering increased open time and producing colors of great clarity. The paint films are highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing, UV resistant, water-resistant, and pH neutral when dry. All Liquitex Professional Colors can be intermixed with each other and Liquitex Mediums.

Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paint, previously referred to as High Viscosity, has a thick consistency for traditional art techniques using brushes or knives, as well as for experimental mixed media collage and printmaking applications. Impasto (thick) applications retain crisp brush stroke and knife marks, and good surface drag provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open-working time. The high pigment load produces rich, brilliant, and permanent colors.

Liquitex's chemists use the latest basket bead-mill technology to bring out the best in every pigment, with tiny reinforced ceramic beads giving fine dispersion, great color development, strength, and brightness. This results in Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic being known for its rich, permanent color.

The high viscosity of Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic provides excellent handling and blending characteristics, with increased open-working time. The low-odor acrylic resin base gives 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, ensuring a flexible, crack-free result even when applied thickly.

The pigments in Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic are lightfast, meaning the work will have the greatest archival permanence possible – at least 50 years+ in gallery conditions – with no color shifting or fading, allowing the work to stay vibrant and true. Liquitex's commitment to providing the professional artist with the best tools and materials is evident in the quality and versatility of its Heavy Body Acrylic Paint.
