Heavy body handling

Engineered for versatility and professional results, this acrylic colour features a thick, buttery heavy-body consistency that holds brushstrokes, impasto, and texture with ease. It is ideal for expressive brushwork, palette-knife techniques, layering, glazing, and mixed media acrylic painting. The paint dries to a flexible, water-resistant film that remains permanent once dry, while still allowing artists to build layers, blend colours, and create depth and tonal variation.

Why artists choose it

Whether painting skies and seascapes, mixing clean greens and violets, or building bold passages of colour, Cobalt Blue Hue from Solid Solutions stands out for:

  • Opaque coverage — ideal for solid colour passages, highlights, and clean colour layering.
  • Professional pigment blend — consistent colour and reliable mixing from a balanced artist pigment formula.
  • Smooth, buttery handling — retains peaks and texture for expressive painting.
  • Fast-drying, flexible film — water-based convenience with permanent durability.
  • Heavy-body consistency — thick texture that naturally holds brush and palette-knife marks.
  • Excellent lightfastness — formulated for lasting vibrancy and resistance to fading over time.

Who it is for

Perfect for artists of all disciplines — from fine art and landscape painting to mixed media and classroom projects — this 80mL tube is ideal for professional acrylic painting, studio work, and on-the-go creativity. Clean-up is simple with soap and water while wet. With its dependable performance and classic blue character, Cobalt Blue Hue is a trusted foundational colour in any artist acrylic palette.
