Heavy body handling

Developed for precision and expressive 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 structured layering, bold passages of colour, and refined painterly techniques, this artist paint dries to a flexible, water-resistant acrylic film that becomes permanent once dry while still allowing generous working time for blending and modulation.

Why artists choose it

Whether used for skies, water, architectural forms, or clean colour mixing, Cobalt Blue Artist Acrylic Paint from Solid Solutions stands out for:

  • Opaque coverage — delivers solid, confident colour with excellent hiding power.
  • Single-pigment formulation — genuine PB28 ensures predictable, clean colour mixing.
  • 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 work, and textured acrylic painting.
  • Excellent lightfastness — artist-grade pigment resists fading over time.

FAQs

What is Cobalt Blue good for?+
Skies, water, architectural forms and clean colour mixing.
How do I make a soft blue-grey?+
Add a touch of Burnt Sienna to Cobalt Blue, then lighten with Titanium White if needed.
Can I mix it with other acrylic colours?+
Yes. Acrylic colours can be mixed freely with each other and with acrylic mediums to adjust colour, flow, gloss and texture.
How do I keep acrylic paint fresh in a jar?+
Scoop out only what you need with a clean palette knife, wipe the rim and close the lid tightly. This keeps air out and stops the paint skinning over.

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 factor for archival artwork. Durable acrylic films combined with stable artist pigments help ensure artworks retain their true colour, clarity, and integrity for years under normal display conditions.

Clean up & storage

Clean up
Wash brushes and palette knives with soap and water while the paint is still wet.
Storage
Wipe the rim and close the lid tightly after use.
Water-based
Dries to a flexible, water-resistant film.

Solid Solutions Professional Artist Acrylic Paint

I am a new painter, and was using student grade tube paints. Solid Solutions was recommended to me by an artist friend. I am so impressed with the quality. Colours are vibrant and rich, the paint is smooth, buttery, and so easy to use. Mixing colours is easy due to the beautiful consistent texture. It is smooth and easy to apply to canvas, wood, paper, or gel plate whether using brushes, palette knife, or sponges. Clearly - I love them
