Liquitex Heavy Body Or Liquitex Basics Acrylics What The Difference 

really like this video, help me a lot. Did not know they had heavy body acrylic paints

Thanks. There really is a difference between student and artist grade. I usually try to use single-pigment paint, but some really nice paints have more than one pigment.

I know this is such an odd thing to ask but do you know the numbers on the back of each paint im doing some research for school project and i dont have the money to buy these but my school wanted me to go to a craft store. I have extreme anxiety going into places like that im a bit odd but could you type the color of the paint with the numbers that on the back without ink. I would be so greatful

You have a potentially great channel but can I suggest you don’t use music when you are talking. I don’t think I am the only one who finds this very hard to concentrate with music competing against what you are saying! Thanks for you videos!

How can I tell if an acrylic paint is heavy body or soft body when it comes to other brands? Especially since colours and brands differ alot when it comes to consistensy. I've noticed that even tubes from the same brand of acrylics have different thickness.

Blick do has the muted colors available open stock! Go check again. Tubes of 2 ounces currently at $12.59.

A SERIOUS ADVANTAGE to consider what is lLiquitex FLUID basics or even the tube basics is: 1) I use this through an AIRBRUSH gun; I can not stress this advantage enough! The Heavy body and muted are great, BUT, it would be VERY hard to find anyone who would thin down the HEAVY or muted to put through an airbrush! It is so much thinning and the risk of not getting the right formulation--- is very low, you have a hard time being consistent in the mixing, not to even get into how the paint goes through the Airbrush gun, the way you want! The Fluid basics --are SO MUCH BETTER to work with in regard to airbrushing, the amount of mixing to get the VERY important viscosity you DEFINITELY NEED to get it through the airbrush---is minimal and lays so well on projects! In airbrushing - you are SUPPOSED to lay down very THIN layers of paint and build to what thickness you want--- this make the FLUID AND EVEN the TUBE liquitex -- EXCELLENT to work with! The huge importance of NOT using ANY heavy body paint through an airbrush is: you HAVE NO CHOICE but to THIN the Heavy body paints---FAR TOO MUCH, this REALLY risks the chance you will lose the viscosity YOU NEED and the spreading OUT of the now watered down paint-- just destroys your project! I have tried many mediums in practicing with the HEAVY body through an airbrush---- and it is NEVER close to the consistency I get with the FLUID! The airbrush is SO FINE in spray-- you just break down the heavy body TOO MUCH and highly risk losing your project. or cleaning it ALL OFF and starting over. This was for people considering using an airbrush gun!

My understanding, basics are more filler, less pigment then the professional.
