Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylic - Mars Black 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.

Mars Black - This is a single pigment black with a brown undertone. Though not as black as Ivory Black, it has a greater tinting strength and is very opaque. It's a cool black and is as useful for mixing as it is for making bold black marks in paintings. It is made from mineral iron oxide and is named after the alchemical name for iron, Mars.
