Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylic is a richly pigmented artist paint designed for expressive brushwork, bold texture, and dimensional artwork. Its thick, smooth consistency holds brushstrokes and palette knife marks, making it ideal for impasto techniques and building structure. Parchment offers opaque color for expressive painting, color mixing, and textured brushwork.
Suitable for canvas, paper, board, wood, and other compatible surfaces, this versatile acrylic supports traditional painting, collage, and mixed media. Apply it with a brush or palette knife to create anything from blended passages to pronounced peaks and textured layers. Each color is individually formulated to preserve its pigment’s natural character, so opacity and transparency vary by shade.
The low-odor acrylic resin formula provides extended working time for blending, with minimal color change as it dries. Once dry, it forms a flexible, durable film that resists water and yellowing. Lightfastness varies by pigment, with fluorescent and metallic shades requiring particular consideration when choosing colors for lasting display.
