Turn up the volume with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic.
Thick, dense, and full of character, it delivers high-impact colour with a satisfying, sculptural feel. This is Liquitex’s thickest paint, built to capture every crisp brush stroke, every confident knife mark, and every moment of bold expression. Its archival formula keeps your work vibrant, stable, and made to last. Every shade is individually crafted with high-quality artist pigments for maximum impact. Whether naturally opaque, semi-opaque, or transparent, each colour stays true, with minimal wet-to-dry shift. The acrylic base gives colours great clarity and vibrancy, with increased open time and minimal wet-to-dry shift. Expect a satin finish. Expect durability. Expect flexibility, non-yellowing stability, UV resistance, and water resistance when dry.
Heavy Body Acrylic is your go-to for unapologetic texture and big, expressive moves.
I have used Liquitex products since the late 1980s, and find them excellent for a wide range of applications on a variety of supports including murals on masonry, and paintings on canvas, wood and paper. Landscape, wildlife and technical paintings were the majority of my works over my career. The consistent high quality of Liquitex paints have been a great help and can be used for washes, as well as for very fine detail needed in some of these applications.

Liquitex Heavy Body on Rising Museum Board
A beautiful paint, goes on cleanly with a good close to opaque finish on paper board. Colour is bright and clean with no colour variation from original colour on tube when dried. I would highly recommend this Acrylic paint, a wonderful and fine artist material.
