Heavy Body Acrylic Paint
Heavy body acrylic is a thick, buttery artist acrylic that holds brushstrokes and palette-knife marks instead of levelling out, so it's the paint for impasto, texture and expressive brushwork. Our Professional Artist heavy body range is made in Australia in 55 colours, Series 1 to 5, in 80 mL tubes and 250 mL jars, with Titanium White and Carbon Black also in 1, 4 and 10 litre sizes. Product pages list the pigment and lightfastness rating. Not sure which paint you need? Read heavy body vs soft body acrylic.
Heavy Body Acrylic FAQs
What is heavy body acrylic paint?
A thick, buttery artist acrylic that holds brushstrokes and palette-knife marks instead of levelling out. It's used for impasto, textured work and expressive brushwork.
Can I thin heavy body acrylic?
Yes. A little water loosens it for brushwork. For glazes and fluid layers, use Flow Medium, starting with 2 parts medium to 1 part paint.
What's the difference between heavy body and soft body acrylic?
Thickness. Heavy body holds marks and texture; soft body is smoother and levels out. For a smooth-bodied paint, see our Professional Matte range.
How long does heavy body acrylic take to dry?
Thin layers are usually touch dry in about 10 to 30 minutes. Thick impasto takes much longer, from hours to days.
What sizes do the heavy body paints come in?
Every colour comes in an 80 mL tube and a 250 mL jar. Titanium White and Carbon Black also come in 1, 4 and 10 litre jars.
Where are they made?
In Australia.
