Titanium White Heavy Texture
Description
Our Titanium White Heavy Texture offers a unique tactile experience for acrylic painters. It elevates art to a tangible form that encourages movement and interaction. We are self-taught artists turned chemists who value art that appeals to the senses. That's why we made a pro-grade product that beats traditional heavy body paints. Artists love it for its exceeding brightness, opacity, and frosting-like consistency. It also works with our full range of gaffrey acrylic colors (AKA regular acrylics).
This water based paint is a game changer. Our Titanium White Heavy Texture can reach a thickness of up to 6 inches in one layer. It offers mind-blowing results without the added expense of traditional acrylic thickening mediums. Its flexible and indestructible glossy finish will not crack. It looks as stunning dry as it is wet.
Use it with palette knives and brushes for impasto techniques. They hold crisp strokes with stiff peaks. You can also try the addictive method of piping 3D sculptures. Use piping tips to create flowers and abstract designs anyone can do. Don't take our word for it - get your hands dirty and see for yourself what this paint can do for you.

4 easy steps to pipe heavy texture
1. Snip It
Cut a small piece off the bag, about 3/4 of an inch. Cut further as needed to increase flow of paint.
2. Twist it
Use dominant hand to twist the top until bag feels firm. Apply steady pressure to force air pockets outs.
3. Squeeze it
Guide the nozzle with one hand, applying pressure with the other to control paint thickness and shape.
4. Clip It
Flatten the open end and clip it for short-term storage. For long-term, transfer to airtight container.
sculpt with paint
Achieve multicolored compositions up to six inches instantly, with lasting color fidelity and durability.
Mix Paints, not mediums
Effortlessly mix Heavy Texture with Acrylic Colors, avoiding the need for costly thickening mediums that can lead to cracking, discoloration, or drooping.
Cost effective
Our in-house manufacturing cuts out the middleman, allowing emerging artists to experiment freely without the high costs.
FAQ
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies based on humidity, temperature, and paint thickness. Takes about 60-90 minutes to dry to the touch and at least 5-7 days to fully dry. Use fans to speed up drying.
Can I use Heavy Texture on canvas or other surfaces?
Utilize wood panels when working with Heavy Texture for optimal paint structure; the bounciness of canvas can be a hindrance with large volumes of paint.
Test drying process of Heavy Texture on small samples of intended surface to determine compatibility.
Can I mix Heavy Texture with regular acrylics?
Our 'regular' acrylic paints, Acrylic Colors collection, are made to be mixed with Heavy Texture. While Heavy Texture is mostly compatible with other acrylic brands, results may vary. Conduct a small mixing test to check compatibility and consider using gaffrey paints for best results.
Do I need a gesso to prime my surface before using Heavy Texture?
Choose our Base Coats over gesso for artist-quality paint infused with marble dust for better adhesion. Only need 1-2 coats to prime you panel.

I love everything about the paint: the people who make it, how fast it ships and arrives, how wonderful it is to use. I often use pounds at a time for my paintings and I never worry about closing up the piping back, I just pull the dry paint off the tip next time I’m ready to use it. I’ve used every thickening medium imaginable and none of them compare to the puffy, shiny goodness I get from all Gaffrey’s heavy texture acrylics. They’re perfect for my flower sculpting. They dry super sturdy, too. I don’t know where I’d be without them.
This white mixes well with other store bought acrylics. So if your having a hard time buying all the colors. Just buy white and use up your other acrylics. I’ve had issues with shrinking in the past and was told to put a fan on the painting while it is drying. This doesn’t seem to be an issue now. Maybe it was the batch I was sent. However I ordered the gold metallic and waiting for it to arrive to add a crown to my painting below. Canvas back the “king” of ducks.
