Liquitex Soft Body Cadmium-Free Yellow Light — professional low-viscosity acrylic in a 946 ml bottle
Professional low-viscosity, water-based acrylic paint in Cadmium-Free Yellow Light (No. 889). It is a luminous, opaque yellow with great tinting strength, formulated to reproduce the luminosity, covering power and intensity of the traditional cadmium colour without containing cadmium. It has lightfastness I (excellent) on the ASTM scale (American Society for Testing and Materials). It is not the equivalent of a diluted high-viscosity paint: the Soft Body range has a pigment load equivalent to that of the Heavy Body range from the same brand.
What is it used for?
The Soft Body range is suited to:
- Covering large surfaces and murals.
- Fine detail, hard edges, blends and gradients.
- Glazes and layering: it dries quickly and forms a flexible film, which allows layers to be built up and masked.
- Pouring, screen printing and airbrushing.
- Collage, mixed media, painting on fabric and watercolour techniques.
The Soft Body range is applied on stretched canvas, paper and card, photographic paper, wood, fabric, glass, plaster and brick, clay and ceramic.

What is the difference between Soft Body and Heavy Body?
Viscosity. The Soft Body range is low-viscosity and has a pigment load equivalent to that of the Heavy Body range. It is not the same as a thick paint that has been thinned: thinning a high-viscosity paint with water or mediums reduces its concentration and weakens the colour.

Is it suitable for airbrushing, screen printing and pouring?
Yes: the Soft Body range is suited to all three techniques. To change the fluidity, it is recommended to adjust with acrylic mediums and keep water for cleaning tools.
How long does it keep?
