All Liquitex products are formulated by a unique team of chemists and artists. This combination allows us to make the most versatile ranges of intense, highly-loaded, permanent colors possible. Liquitex is the only acrylic paint brand to offer four uniquely different ranges of professional acrylic color to suit the needs of the artist. That in mind, range-specific handling characteristics are established so that each Liquitex paint feels just right – never too sticky or slippery. The low-odor acrylic resin base represents the latest in acrylic resin technology, offering increased open time and producing colors of great clarity. The paint films are highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing, UV resistant, water-resistant, and pH neutral when dry. All Liquitex Professional Colors can be intermixed with each other and Liquitex Mediums. Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paint, previously referred to as High Viscosity, has a thick consistency for traditional art techniques using brushes or knives as well as for experimental mixed media collage and printmaking applications. Impasto (thick) applications retain crisp brush stroke and knife marks. Good surface drag provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open-working time. High pigment load produces rich brilliant permanent color. Visit our Liquitex Storefront for full product assortment. Review: Vivid Colors and Smooth Application! - 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! Review: Good Product - I used this paint many years ago, & still love it! ## Features - PURE PIGMENTS - Heavy Body Acrylic is known for its rich, permanent color. Our chemists use the latest basket bead-mill technology to bring out the best in every pigment. Tiny reinforced ceramic beads give fine dispersion, great color development, strength and brightness. - HIGH VISCOSITY - This is our highest viscosity paint. Good surface drag gives excellent handling and blending characteristics, with increased open-working time. Never too slippery, or too sticky. Heavy Body Acrylic delivers intense color in the ideal consistency for a range of techniques. - VERSATILE - The low-odor acrylic resin base in Heavy Body represents the latest in acrylic resin technology, giving you increased open time and colors of great clarity and vibrancy, with minimal wet-to-dry shift. The paint film is highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing, UV-resistant and water-resistant when dry. - NON-CRACKING - A flexible, crack-free result. Even when you go in thick. Impasto and 3D applications dry without fracturing due to advanced acrylic technology which brings flexibility to the paint film. Giving you a durable, noncracking finish. - ARCHIVAL QUALITY - On a client’s wall. In a gallery. Your work needs to stay as you intended. The pigments in Heavy Body are lightfast. This means your work will have the greatest archival permanence possible – at least 50 years+ in gallery conditions – with no color shifting or fading, to stay vibrant and true. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0012F706Y | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #526 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #27 in Art Paints | | Brand | Liquitex | | Brand Name | Liquitex | | Color | Mars Black | | Container Type | Tube | | Coverage | Fine art | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 9,856 Reviews | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00094376922707 | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Type Name | Acrylic Paint | | Item Volume | 138 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.35 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ColArt Americas | | Model Name | Professional Heavy Body | | Model Number | 1047276 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Part Number | 1047276 | | Size | 4.65 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | UV Resistant | | Special Features | UV Resistant | | Specific Uses For Product | Art Painting | | Surface Recommendation | Ceramic | | UPC | 094376922707 | | Unit Count | 4.65 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Liquitex - **Color:** Mars Black - **Finish Type:** Matte - **Size:** 4.65 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - **Item Volume:** 138 Milliliters - **Special Feature:** UV Resistant - **Unit Count:** 4.65 Fluid Ounces - **Paint Type:** Acrylic - **Specific Uses For Product:** Art Painting - **Surface Recommendation:** Ceramic ## Images ![- Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint, 4.65-oz (138ml) Tube, Mars Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RPWtLMvmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vivid Colors and Smooth Application! *by A***T on December 19, 2024* 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.
