Liquitex Super Heavy Body Acrylic Paint

tell a friend

Super Heavy Body is a line of highly pigmented, clean, brilliant colours with superior shape retention and unique “gutsy” handling, which is a new innovative product introduced to the Liquitex range in early 2004. Excellent for ‘textural’ and ‘sculptural’ applications with very low shrinkage from wet-to-dry. Highly pigmented, producing clean colour mixing with outstanding clarity and brilliance. Formulated to dry within a uniform satin sheen range. This enhances visual clarity of the finished painting, provides a non-plastic look and eliminates glare. Little or no wet-to-dry value shift allows for more accurate colour mixing. Increased open time for easier blending.

• Extra thick body with high surface drag (rheology), comparable to fine oils
• Superior shape retention: holds super high peaks, knife marks and brush strokes
• Flexible when dry, allowing built-up surfaces to remain free of cracks and chips
• Excellent for impasto (thick), ‘textural’ and ‘sculptural’ painting techniques
• Satin finish, no “plastic look”
• Very low shrinkage
• Vibrant colours straight out of the container
• Slow drying time, allows more working (open) time

Full colour range available in 237ml jars, Titanium White, Mars Black and Ivory Black also available in larger 473ml jars.
