Golden Heavy Body Acrylic

Golden Heavy Body Acrylic. The first acrylic colours offered by Golden was their Heavy Body series launched in 1980. These gorgeous paints are well known for their smooth and buttery consistency.

The palette includes the largest assortment of unique pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion available to professional artists. This offers excellent permanency and lightfastness. There are no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes added.

Golden Heavy Body Acrylics have the ability to “stand up” and retain brush strokes or palette knife marks on the canvas.

All Heavy Body colours are thixotropic in nature. This means that when brushing or stirring the paints actually lose viscosity and feel much thinner. The faster the paints are moving, the thinner they feel. Returned to a state of rest, the paints gradually increase in thickness until they are again restored to their formulated viscosity.
