- Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint, 4.65-oz (138ml) Tube, Mars Black

I’ve been using the Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint for a while now, and it’s easily one of my favorite paints for canvas work. The pigmentation is incredibly rich, offering vibrant, true-to-tube colors that stay brilliant even after drying. The heavy body consistency is perfect for creating texture and layering techniques, which I use frequently in my artwork. The paint blends beautifully, allowing for smooth transitions and gradients, and it holds brushstrokes well for more expressive details. It also mixes effortlessly with other Liquitex mediums for added versatility. I appreciate the sturdy packaging of the 2-oz tube; it’s compact yet lasts a long time due to the high pigment concentration. My only minor critique is that some colors can feel slightly thicker or thinner than others, but it’s manageable with a bit of medium or water. Overall, this paint is a fantastic investment for professional and aspiring artists alike. Highly recommended!

I used this paint many years ago, & still love it!

This is the best white I've used so I had to order some once my tube ran out. It's the only white with enough pigment to do stuff. You can paint over other colors and it actually works. It's thick and not runny like other paints

Good quality paint

as a professional painter I try lots of paints .. So many black colors to choose from! and most are not really Black! this is the darkest most true black I ever painted with! I love it! and the matt is best for all paintings !

Arrived on time! Should have had been in box instead of a bag. Because the bag had the tube of paint in a box. Well the box looked like it was old and had a rip on the end. (Pictures) When I removed the tube of paint it appeared ok. I took the lid off to check it—no seal was on it! Didn’t look as if any paint was removed. (Pictures)

Great product

I'm a professional artist & editorial cartoonist with over 50 years of experience with acrylic paint, and I use this stuff all the time when I'm working on canvas or wood panels. I use it with brushes, painting knives (don't get me started on the difference between a painting knife and a palette knife), little pieces of cut-up credit cards, and my fingers, and always get great results. Super good for impasto work. You can also thin it way down and use it like watercolor (you can't do the same tricks you do with watercolor, but it works wonderfully on paper and if you mess up a spot you can just paint over it!!). It's thick enough that you can scratch lines into it, and embed small thing in it. (Sand is fun for texture, and of course if you paint outdoors you will probably have embedded gnats). I can mix darn near any color I want with just the primary colors plus black and white, but there are lots of other fun colors. At the moment I'm playing with "Persian Red", which is really a very pretty pinky-peachy shade. Anyway, it's good stuff.
