Liquitex Acrylic Paint

Liquitex acrylic paint has set the professional standard since 1955 — and for good reason. With a higher pigment concentration, superior lightfastness, and formats built for every technique, Liquitex is the first choice for artists who can't afford for their colours to fade, shift, or disappoint.

Whether you work thick and textural or thin and luminous, the range covers every approach. Liquitex Heavy Body is a buttery, high-viscosity paint that holds crisp brushstrokes and palette knife marks — ideal for impasto and sculptural work. Liquitex Soft Body flows more smoothly from the brush, making it perfect for detailed work, glazing, and layered colour. Liquitex Acrylic Gouache dries to a flat, velvety matte finish with no shine — the go-to choice for illustrators, graphic artists, and anyone who wants clean, solid colour.

All three formats are made with archival, artist-quality pigments that stay true for decades. They're water-based, fast-drying, and fully compatible with the complete range of Liquitex mediums, gels, varnishes, and gessoes — giving you precise control over texture, transparency, finish, and drying time without ever leaving the system.

At Pullingers we stock the complete Liquitex range. As a family-run art shop serving artists for generations, we carry the depth of stock to match — from individual tubes and jars to sets, from single mediums to everything you need to build a full acrylic practice. Expert advice is always on hand, because we're artists and art lovers ourselves.
