Heavy body handling

Developed for precision and expressive versatility, this heavy body artist acrylic paint features a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstrokes and palette knife marks while still allowing transparent passages and controlled layering. Ideal for glazing, atmospheric effects, underpainting, and mixed media acrylic painting, this artist paint dries to a flexible, water-resistant acrylic film that becomes permanent once dry, while still allowing ample working time for blending and tonal adjustment.

Why artists choose it

Whether creating deep blues, mixing clean greens and violets, or building transparent layers over structured underpainting, Phthalocyanine Blue Artist Acrylic Paint from Solid Solutions stands out for:

  • Transparent coverage - ideal for glazing, layering, and controlled colour build-up.

  • Smooth, buttery handling - heavy body texture retains strokes and expressive marks.
  • Fast-drying, flexible film - water-based artist acrylic paint with permanent durability.
  • Heavy-body consistency - suitable for both textured passages and transparent applications.
  • Excellent lightfastness - artist-grade pigment formulated to resist fading over time.

FAQs

What pigment is Phthalocyanine Blue?+
It is made with PB15:1, phthalocyanine blue, rated ASTM I.
How do I mix bright greens?+
Add Phthalocyanine Blue to Yellow Light Hansa a little at a time for clean, bright greens.
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.
