HEAVY BODY VS SOFT BODY We're often asked this. If you thought Soft Body was just a watered down Heavy Body, you’d be wrong. This flowing, low viscosity formula was actually created first. The two paints have compatible binders and pack the same high pigment load. But if you thin Heavy Body with water or medium, you reduce concentration and get noticeably weaker colors. Paint feel, performance and stability is also impacted, so choose the right consistency of paint for the task. ## Features - Contains sensitizing substances. May produce an allergic reaction. - WHY HEAVY BODY? - Liquitex invented artists' acrylics back in 1955 and we've specialized in acrylics ever since. Thick, richly pigmented, lightfast colour is ideal for impasto and texture - VERSATILE - Heavy Body acrylic dries quickly and can be cleaned up with water while wet. It can easily flex, and sticks to almost any surface including canvas, paper & board, wood, masonry, metal, styrofoam, stone, ceramics, and textiles - PURE PIGMENTS - With a high concentration of lightfast artist-quality pigment and a satin finish, Heavy Body Acrylic gives you rich, permanent colour, with crisp brush strokes and knife marks. Pigments are ground with tiny reinforced ceramic beads to give fine dispersion, great colour development, strength, and brightness - HIGH VISCOSITY - Satisfyingly thick and rich. 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 coloUr in the ideal consistency, for a range of techniques - SET INCLUDES - 12 x 22 ml of Essential Liquitex Heavy Body Colours.

If you have doubts you could just ask them directly: https://www.liquitex.com/row/contact-us/ (I'll be amused if Amazon don't let me post the contact details for the manufacturer). **Q: Would this work on wood?** A: If you primed the wood with Gesso I think it would. **Q: Can i use it for PC watercooling? Is it safe?** A: Yes its safe used as their instructions advise. When using Acrylics remember they are thicker and cover better than watercolours, you can use both together no worries. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***G on 7 December 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***K on 5 January 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***W on 2 August 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint, 12 x 22ml (0.74-oz), Essentials Set - Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint, 2-oz (59ml) Tube, Titanium White - Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint, 250ml (8.5-oz) Tube, Titanium White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/128159737-liquitex-professional-acrylic-heavy-body-set-of-12-x-22](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/128159737-liquitex-professional-acrylic-heavy-body-set-of-12-x-22) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
