Golden Fluid Acrylics are high-pigment acrylic paints thinned to a heavy-cream consistency, made without fillers or added water. They carry the same pigment load as Golden Heavy Body Acrylics but flow and level more evenly, which suits fine brushwork, glazing, staining, pouring and spraying. Compared with Heavy Body, they hold brush marks less and dry to a more level film; compared with student or craft acrylics, they offer stronger tinting strength and lightfast, permanent pigments. They suit painters who want intense color in a fluid form and are willing to trade some body for flow.

Painters who use Golden Fluid Acrylics praise the pigment strength and smooth flow, and many treat them as a go-to for detail and glazing. The main complaint is that the thin consistency does not build texture like Heavy Body.
Golden Fluid Acrylics have the color intensity of GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylics in a smooth, flowing form. They have the same pigment load as the Heavy Body line, with a viscosity similar to heavy cream.
The paint is made by loading an acrylic polymer binder with concentrated levels of quality pigments, in a wide selection of permanent and lightfast colors. No fillers or extenders are added to reach the consistency, and the flow is not achieved with extra water. The paint keeps its color intensity, tinting strength, film integrity and adhesion.
It suits dry brush application, fine details, fine brushwork, glazing, pouring, staining and water media techniques. It can be sprayed, particularly when mixed with GOLDEN Airbrush Medium, including for artwork on textiles. It blends easily with all acrylic colors and tints gels, mediums, gessoes and grounds.
