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 subtle tonal variation.

Why artists choose it

Whether layering colour, mixing natural earth tones, or creating warm underpainting and atmospheric passages, Yellow Oxide Artist Acrylic Paint from Solid Solutions stands out for:

  • Transparent coverage — ideal for earthy passages and tonal work.
  • Professional pigment load — delivers clean, consistent colour without fillers or extenders.
  • Smooth, buttery handling — retains peaks and textured marks 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.

FAQs

What pigment is in Yellow Oxide?+
PY42 (yellow iron oxide), rated ASTM I.
How do I mix cream or sand tones?+
Add Titanium White to Yellow Oxide a little at a time for creams, sand and stone tones.
Does acrylic paint dry darker?+
Slightly. Wet acrylic looks lighter because the binder is milky; as it dries the film turns clear and the colour deepens a little. Mix a touch lighter than your target if you are matching colours.
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.
