Heavy Body Artist Colour, previously referred to as High Viscosity, has a thick consistency for traditional art techniques using brushes or knives, as well as for experimental, mixed media, collage and printmaking applications. Impasto applications retain crisp brush stroke and knife marks. Good surface drag provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open-working time. High pigment load produces rich, brilliant, permanent colour.
• Exceptionally smooth, thick buttery consistency
• Retains brush strokes and palette knife marks
• Great for thick/impasto applications and painting techniques
• Flexible when dry; thick films remain free of cracks and chips

I highly regard this paint - excellent colours and texture. Susan (Somerset, United Kingdom) on 17 Sep 2012
These paints are just right for me. They are buttery-smooth and yet they don't slip about. They can be thinned down if necessary, but mostly I like to paint with them straight from the tube. Margaret Lapping (Tregaron, United Kingdom) on 25 Feb 2014
