Interference Orange
Interference pigment — colour shifts with viewing angle
#E89040

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. Interference Orange (S7) 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.

Interference Orange is from GOLDEN's Interference range. The colour shifts depending on where you are standing and how the light hits, which sounds like a gimmick until you actually use one. Brilliant layered over other colours or used straight on a dark ground for the most dramatic shift effect.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Warm optical shift — orange in direct light, blue-violet from the side. Brilliant for anything meant to look alive or in motion, like feathers, butterfly wings, or abstract energy fields.

Why GOLDEN Heavy Body is in Serious Studios

  • No fillers. No extenders. No dyes. Pure pigment in 100% acrylic emulsion. That is it.
  • Buttery consistency that holds its peak. Brushstrokes stay. Palette knife marks peak and stay peaked. No overnight slumping.
  • Batch-to-batch colour consistency. Every production run is matched. Your palette does not change on you between orders.
  • Permanent and waterproof once dry. A flexible, archival film that will not crack, yellow, or reactivate with water.
  • Fully intermixable with all GOLDEN mediums, gels, and pastes. No weird reactions, no surprises. Also plays beautifully with other professional acrylic brands.
  • Series 7 pricing — based on pigment cost and rarity, not quality. Every series is made to the same uncompromising standard.

About Series Pricing

GOLDEN uses a Series 1 through 9 pricing system based purely on pigment cost and rarity. Series 1 uses the most accessible pigments. Series 9 uses the expensive, rare ones. What it does not mean is that Series 1 is lesser quality than Series 9. Every single series is made to exactly the same uncompromising standard. Interference Orange is a Series 7 colour, priced at $39.95 per 59ml tube.

Getting the Most Out of This Tube

Straight from the tube is where Heavy Body shines. Impasto, texture, bold mark-making, palette knife work. This is exactly what it was designed for.

Thin with water up to around 25% for smoother applications. Beyond that, reach for GOLDEN Fluid Medium or Glazing Liquid — heavy dilution with water alone can compromise the binder over time.

Need more working time? GOLDEN OPEN Medium or a touch of Retarder slows drying significantly. Wet blending, soft edges, all the things oil painters get to brag about — all possible.

Questions About GOLDEN Interference Orange

Can I use GOLDEN Interference Orange with other brands of acrylic paint?

Yes. GOLDEN Heavy Body plays well with other professional acrylic paints. The binder chemistry is compatible with standard acrylic formulations. Just keep an eye on consistency — Heavy Body is a thick paint, so if you are mixing brands you may need to adjust with mediums. Interference Orange in particular behaves beautifully as a mixing partner.

What is the shelf life of GOLDEN Interference Orange once opened?

Keep the cap clean and sealed after use and it will last for years. Heavy Body acrylic does not dry in the tube — the only risk is if air gets in and it starts to skin at the opening. Wipe the cap threads clean after each session and you will get long, reliable life from every tube.

Where can I buy GOLDEN Heavy Body paint in Australia?

Art Shed Online is an authorised Australian stockist of GOLDEN Heavy Body Artist Acrylics. We stock the full range and ship fast from Australia. No grey imports, no dodgy provenance — genuine GOLDEN, bought direct through official channels.

What is the difference between GOLDEN Heavy Body and GOLDEN Fluid acrylics?

Heavy Body has a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstroke and palette knife texture. Fluid acrylics have the same pigment load but in a pourable consistency — better for detail work, ink-style application, and airbrushing. Same pigment quality, completely different working feel.

What surfaces can I use GOLDEN Heavy Body on?

GOLDEN Heavy Body works on virtually any properly prepared surface — stretched canvas, canvas board, MDF, wood panel, paper (300gsm+), fabric, and more. Prime with GOLDEN Gesso first for best adhesion and archival results on absorbent surfaces.

How long does GOLDEN Heavy Body paint take to dry?

Applied thinly, GOLDEN Heavy Body is touch-dry in 15 to 30 minutes. Thick impasto applications can take several hours to days. Dry time depends on temperature, humidity, and layer thickness. Add GOLDEN Retarder or OPEN Medium to extend working time significantly.
