Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylic - Alizarin Crimson Hue Permanent, 138 ml

Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylics feature a thick, buttery consistency with a high-concentration of lightfast, artist-quality pigment. Heavy Body Acrylic gives you rich, permanent color that's ideal for traditional painting techniques, including alla prima and impasto textures, as well as experimental, collage, printmaking, and mixed media applications.

This professional acrylic paint is particularly well suited to retaining the peaks and textures of brushstrokes, and the mark-making of painting knives. The paint film remains flexible when dry, and even thick applications will not crack or chip over time. Each color dries to a satin finish. You can freely modify the sheen, viscosity, and transparency with Liquitex Acrylic Mediums.

Alizarin Crimson Hue Permanent - This is a highly transparent vivid red with a blue undertone, and a very useful mixing color in many palettes. This is a mixed pigment hue, a recreation of true alizarin crimson pigment which doesn’t offer the lightfastness artists require. Alizarin Crimson was first used as a dye obtained from the roots of the madder plant by the ancient Egyptians.
