Iridescent Pearl Heavy Texture

Heavy body acrylics claim to be thick, but they often fall flat. Gaffrey's Heavy Texture provides unmatched thickness and opacity, setting a new standard for impasto painting.

Heavy Texture is ready-made for gravity defying effects and lasting color. No mixing mediums required. Plus, it's fully compatible with 'regular' acrylics.

We’re a ragtag crew, crafting professional-grade acrylics from the ground up. Embracing a DIY ethos, we ensure our paints are accessible to all artists, supporting creativity without barriers or hefty price tags.

All gaffrey formulations are approved by certified toxicologists from Environmental Medicine Inc.

• 100% Acrylic emulsion

Transparency is key. Below are some crucial insights into how we operate and what you can expect: 

• Restocking: We do not provide restocking timelines. Our stock levels depend on a multitude of factors, and we focus on quality over speed.
• Production: We’re a lean team of five, with just two handling all production. We work hard to meet demand, but there are limits to what we can do. We appreciate your understanding.
• Painting Classes: Our focus is on perfecting paints and getting orders out the door quickly, not on teaching. We're all self-taught artists here at GAM, learning through trial and error. Follow us on social media for occasional tips and tricks. We love sharing our discoveries in real time and learning from artists like you!
• Dry Time: Our paints use a water-based formula. A thick layer of Heavy Texture will cure faster than a thin layer of oil paint. Drying times may vary, so consider using a plugin fan for quicker results.
• Firm Pricing: Prices are set to reflect the quality and care we put into our paints. We don’t offer discounts—our goal is to keep our pricing fair and straightforward.
• Modus Operandi: Our paints encourage bold and voluminous use. Don’t like heavy application? That’s fine, but our style celebrates abundance. Use as much or as little as you like, but we design with freedom in mind.
• Product Consistency: Despite our best efforts to maintain consistency, batch variability is inevitable. It’s part of the charm of buying handcrafted paints.
• Packaging: It’s what’s inside the bag that counts. Packaging aesthetics are secondary to the quality of paint we deliver. Some imperfections are to be expected.
• Team Capacity: We started small and remain a small team. Expansions and improvements are ongoing, but expect some delays. We manage our operations with care, not haste.
