Product Information

For lightfastness, NR means “Not rated” – meaning that it has not been tested by ASTM for lightfastness. ASTM D4303 is the test method for Lightfastness for pigment-based artist materials. Fluorescent dyes and color coated micas are not usually in scope for this test as they are not real pigments with Color Index as such. Fluorescent colors by their very nature are dye based, they are known to be fugitive and cannot withstand the negative effects of UV light like most pigments. This pertains to all fluorescent colors and has nothing to do with a professional or student range of art materials. We do our own in-house Blue wool test for Permanence rating where we test all our colors. Heavy Body Acrylic is our nearest paint in terms of viscosity and behaviour, but has many other characteristics that are different to oil paint. Try it out and see how you go.

It can act as a form of interactive therapy and can serve as a creative challenge for those looking to escape the 2D nature of typical acrylic painting. When the surface is thoroughly dry the affected surface will need to be rubbed down using 'wet and dry' abrasive paper. It can then be re-coated. This is usually caused by contamination of the underlying surface by soluble stains.

And did I mention acrylic mediums save you money and resources because less acrylic paint is being used in the long run? On the other hand, if you mold the paste directly on the canvas, it can retain the color vibrancy of your acrylic paint. Wasn't actually asking what paint your using, more what’s the condition of the walls like - or the ‘imperfections in plastering’ as you say With impasto painting, I love to show off the brush strokes, especially since it creates lines in the paint indicating movement and some sort of “action” in the painting. I typically like to go with broad brushes like flat washes or filberts to give me those large sweeping strokes. Use a Palette Knife

The use of impasto became more or less compulsory in modern art as the view took hold that the surface of a painting should have its own reality rather than just being a smooth window into an illusionist world beyond. With this went the idea that the texture of paint and the shape of the brushmark could themselves help to convey feeling, that they are a kind of handwriting that can directly express the artist’s emotions or response to the subject.

When the surface is thoroughly dry the affected surface will need to be rubbed down using 'wet and dry' abrasive paper. It can then be re-coated. This should only be done once the conditions improve or when the condensation problem is resolved. Another way of using modeling clay is by first applying the clay directly to the canvas and creating the pattern you desire. The pigment PR206 used for Quinacridone Burnt Orange was discontinued by the supplier. After trying to develop an alternative hue, we realised we couldn’t identically replace this unique Quinacridone pigment, and decided to discontinue the color in Heavy Body and Soft Body.
