Golden heavy body acryl paint
GOLDEN Heavy Body acrylic paints were the first products introduced by Golden Artist Colors, Inc. in 1980. Initially, the Heavy Body line was sold directly to Manhattan artists in 4 liter and 4 gallon containers. Pints, 8 oz. and 4 oz. jars soon followed as the products gained popularity with professional artists. Tubes of GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylics finally hit the market in 1990. GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylics are known for their exceptionally smooth, rich and creamy consistency. These paints have the ability to "stand up" and hold brush strokes or palette knife marks on the canvas.
All HB colors are thixotropic in nature. This means that when brushed or stirred, the paints lose their viscosity and appear much thinner. The faster the paints move, the thinner they appear. When brought back to a resting state, the paints gradually increase in thickness until they return to their original viscosity.
HB colors can be mixed with all of our mediums, gels and other GOLDEN paint lines, including our high flow acrylics, fluid acrylics, high charge colors, iridescent colors, paste paints and matte acrylics. By mixing paint lines, artists can produce a wide range of paint consistency without compromising color strength.
