Heavy body handling

Created for versatility and precise control, this heavy body artist acrylic paint features a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstrokes, palette knife marks, and impasto texture with ease. Ideal for expressive brushwork, bold textural effects, and structured layering, this artist acrylic paint dries to a flexible, water-resistant acrylic film that becomes permanent once dry, while still allowing ample working time for blending and colour mixing.

Why artists choose it

Whether layering colour, mixing custom tones, or creating bold shadows and contrast, Carbon Black Artist Acrylic Paint from Solid Solutions stands out for:

  • Exceptional opacity — a deep, rich black artist paint that confidently covers underlying colours.
  • Professional pigment load — high-quality artist pigments deliver clean, powerful colour without fillers or extenders.
  • Smooth, buttery handling — heavy body texture retains peaks, strokes, and expressive marks.
  • Fast-drying, flexible film — water-based artist acrylic paint with permanent durability.
  • Heavy-body consistency — ideal for impasto, palette knife techniques, and textured acrylic painting.
  • Excellent lightfastness — artist-grade formulation designed to resist fading over time.

Who it is for

Suitable for artists across all disciplines — from fine art and professional studio practice to mixed media and education — this 10 litre bulk size of artist acrylic paint suits busy studios, schools, workshops and mural painters working at scale. Clean-up is simple with soap and water while wet. With its dependable performance and archival quality, Carbon Black is a trusted foundational colour in any professional artist paint collection.

FAQs

Is heavy body acrylic suitable for murals and large works?+
Yes. It covers well on primed surfaces and holds texture, making it a good choice for murals, large canvases and studio projects that use a lot of one colour.
Is Carbon Black good for impasto?+
Yes. Its thick, buttery body holds palette knife marks and peaks, giving bold, textured black passages.
How do I keep a large container of acrylic fresh?+
Scoop out only what you need with a clean palette knife, wipe the rim and close the lid tightly after each use. Store it out of direct sun and away from frost.
Can I thin heavy body acrylic?+
Yes. A little water loosens it for brushwork. For glazes and fluid layers, use Flow Medium, which thins the paint while keeping a strong, flexible film.

Lightfast & Archival Quality

Artists can paint with confidence knowing Solid Solutions Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paints are engineered for excellent permanence and lightfastness. Lightfastness refers to a pigment’s resistance to fading or colour change when exposed to light — a critical requirement for archival artwork. Durable acrylic films combined with stable artist pigments help ensure artworks retain their true colour, depth, and brilliance for years under normal display conditions.
