Thick, Buttery Acrylics with Pure Pigments and Versatile Application

GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylics are known for their thick, buttery consistency and exceptionally smooth handling. Ideal for artists who value rich texture and pigment purity, each color in the line is individually formulated using a 100% acrylic binder to showcase the natural properties of its pigment. This results in one of the broadest selections of pure pigments available in any acrylic system.

Free from fillers, extenders, dyes, opacifiers, and flattening agents, GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylics deliver clean, vibrant color with excellent lightfastness and long-term durability. The finish varies by pigment—some colors dry matte and opaque, while others retain a glossy, more transparent appearance.
