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. CP Cadmium Red Dark (S9) 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 darkest and most opaque of the cadmium reds. Brilliant for deep red shadows and for mixing rich dark oranges. Goes a long way — cadmiums have serious pigment concentration.

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.

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. CP Cadmium Red Dark is a Series 9 colour, priced at $47.95 per 59ml tube.
