Meridian Heavy Body Acrylic Set
$178 × 1
The details
Heavy body means the paint keeps the shape of the stroke. Meridian holds a palette-knife ridge without slumping, and retains enough open time to blend wet-into-wet on the canvas.
Colour shift on drying is the usual acrylic frustration; a modified binder keeps the shift small enough that you can mix confidently.
Twelve colours chosen as a working primary-plus-earth set rather than a novelty spread.
What’s included
- 12 tubes, 60ml each
- Titanium white supplied in a 120ml tube
- Palette knife, forged and tempered
- Tear-off palette pad, 40 sheets
Care & keeping
Never let acrylic dry in a brush — it is effectively permanent once cured. Keep a water pot within reach and rinse before the paint sets.
What artists say
Worth every penny
I hesitated at the price and then used it every day for six months. The balance is what surprised me — my hand stopped aching after long sessions.

Excellent, with one caveat
Beautiful quality throughout. The case is slightly larger than I expected, so check the measurements if you are tight for desk space.

Bought a second as a gift
Packaging alone made it feel like a considered present. My sister has since bought one for her studio.
