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 optical colour variation.

Why artists choose it

Whether layering colour, mixing vibrant violets and greens, or creating rich transparent glazes and atmospheric passages, Ultramarine Blue from Solid Solutions stands out for:

  • Transparent coverage — perfect for glazing, layering, and luminous depth.
  • Professional pigment load — delivers clean, vibrant colour without fillers or extenders.
  • 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 250mL jar 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 professional quality and classic performance, Ultramarine Blue is a trusted foundational colour in any artist acrylic palette.

FAQs

What pigment is Ultramarine Blue?+
It is made with PB29, ultramarine blue, rated ASTM I for lightfastness.
How do I mix purple with Ultramarine Blue?+
Add Quinacridone Magenta a little at a time for clean violets and purples.
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.
