Description of Liquitex 2-oz Tube of Ultramarine Blue (Red Shade): Professional Heavy Body Acrylic Paint

PURE PIGMENTS - Heavy Body Acrylic is known for its rich, permanent color. Our chemists use the latest basket bead-mill technology to bring out the best in every pigment. Tiny reinforced ceramic beads give fine dispersion, great color development, strength and brightness. HIGH VISCOSITY - This is our highest viscosity paint. Good surface drag gives excellent handling and blending characteristics, with increased open-working time. Never too slippery, or too sticky. Heavy Body Acrylic delivers intense color in the ideal consistency for a range of techniques. VERSATILE - The low-odor acrylic resin base in Heavy Body represents the latest in acrylic resin technology, giving you increased open time and colors of great clarity and vibrancy, with minimal wet-to-dry shift. The paint film is highly flexible, durable, non-yellowing, UV-resistant and water-resistant when dry. NON-CRACKING - A flexible, crack-free result. Even when you go in thick. Impasto and 3D applications dry without fracturing due to advanced acrylic technology which brings flexibility to the paint film. Giving you a durable, noncracking finish. ARCHIVAL QUALITY - On a client’s wall. In a gallery. Your work needs to stay as you intended. The pigments in Heavy Body are lightfast. This means your work will have the greatest archival permanence possible – at least 50 years+ in gallery conditions – with no color shifting or fading, to stay vibrant and true.

Vibrant shades for Arts and Crafts

My analysis of this paint showed that it has brilliant pigments that deliver vivid and opaque coverage. I love the flexibility it offers, allowing me to dilute for a translucent effect or layer it up like a pro. However, this paint is quite heavy, making it hard to control at times. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone who loves creating beautiful art with vibrant shades.

Pros
  • Excellent pigment saturation and color vibrancy
Cons
  • Requires careful handling and clean-up due to its thickness and viscosity

Frustrated Mess

The paint tube was cut with something and the paint was all over the package and I got my hands on it. Completely unexpected and disappointing. Can't use paint, most of it is dry. I had to put a star, no star needed! The product could not be used and money was needed.

Pros
  • VERSATILITY. The low-odor acrylic resin base in Heavy Body is the latest in acrylic resin technology, offering extended open time and superior color clarity and vibrancy with minimal wet-to-dry transition. The paint film is highly flexible, hard-wearing, non-yellowing, UV-resistant and waterproof when dry.
Cons
  • old

Pigment ink not suitable for ultramarine blue

This is a poor quality pigment: color mixing exercises show that it doesn't have the purple component it should have and there seems to be more green than there should be. In the shading exercise shown, Hansa's yellow light is shown on the right, and the green is shown lighter than it should be. Trying to create magenta or violet with this hue will result in purple sludge.

Pros
  • HIGH VISCOSITY is our ink with the highest viscosity. The good surface stability provides excellent handling and mixing properties with an extended open time. Never too slippery or too sticky. Heavy Body Acrylic offers intense color with the perfect consistency for a variety of techniques.
Cons
  • I'll add later
