As the original line of paints from GOLDEN, these Heavy Body acrylics are exceptionally smooth with a thick, buttery consistency. Each set contains the most extensive assortment of unique pure pigments suspended in a 100% acrylic emulsion. GOLDEN acrylics offer excellent lightfastness with no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes added.
Each Heavy Body color is formulated differently depending on the nature of the pigment. Colors that tolerate higher pigment "loads" dry to a more opaque, matte finish. More reactive colors do not accept high pigment loads and will often dry to a glossy finish that is more transparent. GOLDEN Heavy Body colors contain no additives, such as matting agents; therefore, each color's gloss will differ.
This set includes Carbon Black, Phthalo Blue (GS), Quinacridone Magenta, Hansa Yellow Medium, Phthalo Green (BS), and Titanium White - 2 fluid ounce tube
