Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paint has a thick consistency for traditional art techniques using brushes or knives and for experimental, mixed media, collage and printmaking applications. Impasto applications retain crisp brush strokes and knife marks. Good surface drag provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open-working time. High pigment load produces rich, brilliant, permanent colour.
