*When you see
“hue” written on a paint tube (ex: Cadmium Red hue) it means imitation, not a pure pigment
but a combination of cheaper available reds to make a color very close. So you
can imagine it’s never going to have the color saturation that an artist grade
paint will have.
Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics are naturally creamy and fluid. That makes
them just right for tole and decorative arts, stenciling, murals,
silk-screening, calligraphy, printmaking, graphic design, sculpture,
photo retouching, hard edged painting, watercolor techniques, fabric
painting without heat setting, airbrush
Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Colors are professional-quality
acrylics that have an exceptionally smooth, thick, buttery consistency,
ideal for traditional art techniques that employ brushes and painting
knives, as well as experimental, mixed-media, collage, and printmaking
applications.
