Liquitex Soft Body Cadmium-Free Yellow Medium — professional low-viscosity acrylic in a 946 ml bottle
Professional low-viscosity, water-based acrylic paint, in Cadmium-Free Yellow Medium (No. 890). It is a medium-tone yellow, opaque and with excellent tinting strength, formulated to reproduce the brilliance, covering power and intensity of traditional cadmium yellow without containing cadmium. It has a lightfastness of 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 same brand’s Heavy Body range.
What is it used for?
The Soft Body range is intended for:
- Covering large surfaces and murals with an opaque colour.
- Fine detail, hard edges, blends and gradients.
- Glazes and layering: it dries quickly and forms a flexible film, which allows layers to be superimposed and masked.
- Pouring, screen printing and airbrush.
- Collage, mixed media, painting on fabric and watercolour techniques.
It is applied to stretched canvas, paper and cardboard, photographic paper, wood, fabric, glass, plaster and brick, clay and ceramic.
