Tri-Art High Viscosity is built for painters who want a true heavy-body feel, strong chroma, and pronounced stroke retention, and Tri-Art attributes that to very high pigment loading and a finely refined pigment grind; if you like paint that “pulls” like oil and keeps its marks, start by exploring the colours and do two quick swatches per colour, one straight from the tube and one brushed out thin, so you can see each pigment’s natural sheen, transparency, and staining strength before it’s mixed with white or mediums.
Thick, heavy body acrylic for bold texture, knife work, and brushmarks
Load the knife generously, then place and pull once or twice to keep peaks crisp
For bold brush marks, use a stiffer bristle or synthetic “hog” style brush and avoid overworking
Build impasto in layers, letting thicker passages set up before adding more height
If you need more glide for knife work, mix in a small amount of acrylic medium instead of lots of water
Keep a spray bottle nearby to lightly mist your palette so the surface does not skin over
60ml tubes
Made in Canada (since 1994)
