SmartMax Heavy Body 59 ml paint — SMARTMAX Viridian hue 398

SMARTMAX Heavy Body 59 ml paint in Viridian hue 398 is a high-viscosity acrylic artist paint supplied in a 59 ml tube. Designed to retain peaks and brushstrokes, this heavy-body formula supports impasto techniques, textured layers and precise color modulation. The pigment load and thick consistency make it suitable for studio work on canvas, panels and mixed-media surfaces where a stable, sculptural application is required.

Advantages

The heavy-body consistency preserves brushwork and palette-knife texture while offering good coverage and strong pigmentation. The paint is formulated for controlled application, allowing gradual blending and layering without slumping. Its 59 ml tube format is convenient for studio use and travel, while the Viridian hue 398 provides a deep, versatile green suitable for landscape tones and color mixing.

Suitable for

• Impasto techniques and heavy texture on canvas or panel
• Layering and glazing in acrylic painting
• Palette-knife work and sculptural paint effects
• Mixed-media artworks and restoration touch-ups requiring stable, thick paint
• Color mixing and fine-detail work where high pigment concentration is needed

Key specifications

• Volume: 59 ml tube
• Finish: heavy-body, high-viscosity acrylic
• Colour: Viridian hue 398 (deep green tone)
• Application: brush, palette knife, or other painting tools
• Coverage: high pigment concentration for strong color opacity

How to use

Use directly from the tube for thick impasto and palette-knife techniques. Apply in textured strokes or build layers by allowing each layer to dry before adding subsequent ones. For smoother blending or glazing, thin sparingly with an appropriate acrylic medium; avoid excessive dilution to maintain the heavy-body properties. Clean tools with water while the paint is wet; once dry, the film is water-resistant.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed to prevent skinning. Test compatibility with other media on a small sample area before combining with different brands or restoration materials. Use appropriate ventilation during extended studio sessions.
