## Overview

GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylics Mars Black is a professional-grade, 8 fl. oz. acrylic paint featuring a rich black iron oxide pigment with exceptional opacity and a thick, smooth texture that preserves brush and palette knife marks. Made in the USA by an employee-owned company with over 40 years of experience, this vegan, ASTM Lightfastness I rated paint offers superior permanence and clean color mixing for artists seeking premium quality and lasting vibrancy.

## Description

GOLDEN HEAVY BODY ACRYLICS are known for their exceptionally smooth, thick consistency that retains brushstrokes and palette knife marks. With no added fillers, extenders or opacifiers, the inherent qualities of each pigment take center stage. The result is cleaner color mixing and a range of sheen and opacity across the line - from glowing, transparent colors ideal for glazing to dense, opaque colors providing excellent coverage.

Review: Most black black!!! - I LOVE Mars Black. It’s a deeper, richer black than Ivory black. What’s up with a black called “ivory?” Then again Mars isn’t black. Who names these colors anyway??? ANYWAY, this is a gorgeous color and the only black I use. And Golden makes such nice acrylic paint. Perfect for painting the sides of my canvases as well as using in my paintings. If you haven’t tried Mars Black do it!
Review: Gorgeous - I’ve been using latex paint for the last several years. Then applied a high quality sealer over my finished paintings. Finally I have gotten to the point that my work work has steadily been selling. I promised myself that at some point once I was selling I would invest in nice paints. Oh my. These are gorgeous paints. Everything about this product is worth the money. The only reason I am not giving five stars is because if you are a beginner or like me no experience using high quality mediums then this paint is quite thick. Once you figure out how to use properly then it is the best! You won’t go back to what you were using before you used this. And your paintings are going to definitely reflect it.

Best coverage better than other paints. Golden products are thick and able to cover w/o having to repeat applications like the cheaper brands.
