8 oz liquitex acrylic paint

Based on a standard 8 oz (237 ml) tube or bottle of Liquitex Heavy Body or Soft Body acrylic paint, here is the key information regarding coverage and usage: Coverage (Approximate) Heavy Body: Covers roughly 4 to 6 square feet per coat (on a non-porous, primed surface). Soft Body: Covers roughly 7 to 9 square feet per coat (due to thinner consistency). What you can paint with 8 oz Canvas: One 16" x 20" canvas (two coats) or two 11" x 14" canvases (one coat). Painting Surface: About the size of a standard piece of printer paper (8.5" x 11") with a thick, textured impasto layer, or a much larger area if used thinly. Key Liquitex Facts for an 8 oz Size Pigment Load: Liquitex has one of the highest pigment loads in student/artist-grade acrylics. 8 oz will feel heavier and more opaque than cheaper brands. Drying: It will dry significantly darker than the wet color (especially for heavy body). Container: Liquitex 8 oz usually comes in a squeeze bottle (for Soft Body) or a tube (for Heavy Body). The tube is more airtight, but the bottle is easier to dispense. Price Expectation Liquitex Basics (Student Grade): 1015 Liquitex Heavy Body (Artist Grade): 2035 (depending on color; Cadmiums and Cobalts are more expensive) Pro Tip for Longevity Because 8 oz is a large volume for acrylic (which dries out quickly), do not pour it directly onto a palette. Use a stay-wet palette or a sealed container to scoop out only what you need. The paint in the original container will last years if kept sealed and stored upside down (to prevent a skin from forming under the lid).
