Today's Frequently Asked Question:

Question: What is the difference between the Liquitex Soft Body Paints and the Liquitex Heavy Body paints?

Answer: The Liquitex Professional Soft Body paints are their original acrylic paint formulation. These paints have more intense color pigment than the Liquitex Basics line and flow more readily than the Liquitex Heavy Body line. The Soft Body paints have the advantage of the flow of the student paint and the intense pigment of the professional paint. Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylics are formulated to have a buttery smooth, thick consistency. A high pigment load produces rich, brilliant, permanent color and with good surface drag that provides excellent handling and blending characteristics with increased open working time. They work especially well with painting knifes but also traditional brush paint techniques.
