Golden Fluid Acrylics Paint

Thursday, May 5th, 2011


Golden doesn’t offer as many colors in fluid acrylics as they do in their thicker, heavy body line (tubes & jars). Some of the heavy metal pigments just don’t mix work well with the fluid paint. The Golden Fluid Acrylic Paint is categorized into four main types:

* Fluid Colors
* Fluid Iridescent / Fluid Interference
* Historical Fluid Hues
* Matte Fluids

Each of these sub-types has specific color characteristics, but each has the same FLUID characteristics.

Fluid Acrylics are self-leveling. This means they will will dry smoother, flatter, and thinner on the canvas.

With a high viscosity, gravity pulls the paint down into all the little dents and divot holes it the canvas so it you don’t have those little tiny specs on canvas showing through. The paint flows from the brush better with a softer brush.

If you paint vertically on an easel, but a little careful as this paint can result in drips if applied too thickly.
