Dick Blick Presents: Golden Fluid Acrylics Review

Golden Fluid Acrylics – Presented by Dick Blick Art Materials

The fluid acrylics line from Golden are a highly intense and permanent paint with the consistency similar to that of heavy cream.  The pigment strength used in these paints is very similar to the pigment load that is used to make Golden’s Heavy Body Acrylics. The only real difference is the consistency.  These paints are produced using lightfast pigments and not dyes and contain no fillers or extenders.

You  may be thinking why bother with fluid acrylics?  I can just dilute my regular acrylics with water and produce the same kind of paint.  Actually, this is not recommended because your colors will lose intensity when watered down this way.

These paints are manufactured with the highest possible pigment loads.  This creates paints that have incredible paint dispersion qualities, amazing tinting strength, durability, flexibility and excellent adhesion. The unique consistency of these paints allows for even brush load and long uniform brush strokes.
