Look. If you paint with acrylics and you have not tried GOLDEN Heavy Body yet, this is your sign and we are not sorry for the intervention. Neutral Gray N5 (S1) is part of the range that put GOLDEN on the map in 1980, and it genuinely keeps getting better. A 59ml tube of thick, richly pigmented acrylic with a buttery, knife-holds-its-peak consistency. The kind of paint that makes your mark-making feel like it actually counts for something.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
The studio workhorse grey — exactly halfway between black and white. Brilliant for grisaille painting, tonal studies, and as a base for painting metal, stone, and concrete.
