FAQs

What pigments are in Honeycomb?+
PW6 (titanium white) and PY65 (arylamide yellow), rated ASTM I.
How do I mix honey and sand tones?+
Add a touch of Burnt Umber or Raw Sienna to Honeycomb for warm, natural honey and sand colours.
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.
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, warmth, and integrity for years under normal display conditions.
