Liquitex Heavy Body · Classic Set of 12 Tubes of 59 ml

Liquitex Professional Heavy Body · Classic Set of 12 Tubes of 59 ml — High-Viscosity Artist's Acrylic

Twelve 59 ml tubes of professional artist's acrylic of high viscosity and satin finish. The set brings together 11 colours from the Heavy Body colour chart, with Titanium White in duplicate: eight single-pigment colours and three mixed colours, each with its pigment, opacity and lightfastness shown on the tube. Like the whole Heavy Body range, it has a dense consistency that holds the brushstroke and the palette-knife mark.

The colours in the set

Pigment: Colour Index code, the international index of colorants (PY = yellow, PR = red, PV = violet, PB = blue, PG = green, PBk = black, PW = white). ASTM: lightfastness scale of the American Society for Testing and Materials; I = excellent, II = very good.

What is it used for?

• Impasto and textures with brush or palette knife: the Heavy Body range is designed for working with body.
• Alla prima painting and blending.
• Collage and mixed media.
• Work with palette knives, combs and scrapers, as well as with brushes: these are the tools the Heavy Body range is worked with.
• Supports the Heavy Body range is designed for: stretched canvas, paper and card, photographic paper, wood, fabric, glass, plaster and brick, clay and ceramic.

Why choose the Liquitex Heavy Body Classic Set?

• Pigment, opacity and lightfastness shown colour by colour: eight of the eleven colours contain a single pigment; five are opaque, one semi-opaque and five transparent, with Titanium White in duplicate.
• ASTM I lightfastness in nine colours and ASTM II in two (Hansa Yellow Light and Dioxazine Purple), on the American Society for Testing and Materials scale (I = excellent, II = very good).
• The highest viscosity of Liquitex paints: the Heavy Body range holds the clean brushstroke and the palette-knife mark, with a long open time.
• High pigment concentration, typical of the Heavy Body range, with minimal colour shift between wet and dry.
• Flexible, durable dry film: like the whole Heavy Body range, it does not yellow, resists ultraviolet (UV) rays and is water-resistant once dry.

How to work with it

• It can be thinned with water. For fluid work, the right approach is to start from a paint of a more fluid consistency.
• Five of the eleven colours are transparent (Hansa Yellow Light, Quinacridone Magenta, Dioxazine Purple, Phthalocyanine Blue and Phthalocyanine Green): they work by glazing, letting the layer beneath show through. For coverage, the set includes five opaque colours, Titanium White among them.
