## 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. Colours: Yellow Medium Azo, Naphthol Red Light, Quinacridone Crimson, Dioxazine Purple, Ultramarine Blue (Red Shade), Cerulean Blue Hue, Phthalocyanine Green (Blue Shade), Yellow Oxide, Transparent Burnt Sienna, Transparent Raw Umber, Ivory Black, Titanium White

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a hue, or single pigment, and if a single pigment, what is the pigment number?**
A: Hi...as far as I can tell it's a single pigment and the number is PR 122...hope this helps, it is a gorgeous colour and spreads really well.

**Q: Is this paint UV activated (fluorescent)?**
A: the liquitex site explains that it's lightfast and UV fade resistant - you do not need to 'activate it' by shining UV over it. 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.
