Professional Performance with Rich Texture and Vibrant Color
Holbein Heavy Body Artist Acrylics offer professional-grade performance at an affordable price, delivering rich, vivid colors with a smooth, buttery texture that brings your paintings to life. Made with only the highest quality organic and inorganic pigments, these paints are easy to mix and thin, providing exceptional versatility whether you're working thickly or with transparent glazes.
The heavy body consistency allows for strong peak retention and bold impasto techniques, while still brushing on smoothly for seamless coverage. Holbein’s luminous colors add a unique glow with fluorescent dyes—perfect for eye-catching work, though they are not lightfast and will fade over time. It's recommended to photograph any luminous pieces before color loss occurs.
