Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Traditional Set 9pc - 22ml Tubes

This set includes a curated selection of historically significant colours ideal for mixing the range of hues needed for figurative painting. 

Golden Heavy Body paints are known for their exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency. The Heavy Body palette includes the largest assortment of unique pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion available to professional artists. These colours offer excellent permanency and lightfastness, and are made with the highest quality pigments. There are no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners, or dyes added. 

Each Heavy Body paint formula reflects the qualities of its pigment. Colours that tolerate a higher pigment load dry to a more opaque, matte finish. Colours that are more reactive and do not allow as much pigment loading tend to have a glossier, more transparent finish. Because Heavy Body colours contain no matting agents, the gloss of each colour will be different.

About the Brand

At the height of the depression in the 1930s, Sam Golden joined his uncle Leonard Bocour as a partner in 'Bocour Artist Colors'. Leonard and Sam produced hand-ground oil colours for artists. The shop on 15th Street in Manhattan became a hangout for artists from the 1930s through the early 1950s. Artists such as Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler and Jackson Pollock would go to the shop to visit with Leonard, talk to Sam and to purchase paint.

'Golden Artist Colors, Inc.' began in June of 1980 in a 85 square metre renovated barn. Sam, his wife Adele, son Mark and daughter-in-law Barbara Golden, along with partner Chuck Kelly, founded a new company that would embody Sam's dedication to professional artists.

With such a rich history in North America, Golden has grown enormously, it has become a popular brand for artists around the world and is a highly regarded provisioner of fine art products.

GOLDEN constantly strives to outdo itself by operating on three principles: 1) Make the best products, 2) Provide customers with the best service, and 3) Find people who can make the first two happen. A company dedicated to creating and sharing the most imaginative and innovative tools of colour, line and texture for inspiring those who turn their vision into reality.
