If it is acrylic then just add a little water to thin it out. I love heavy body pants! They are more concentrated, you can take out a little bit and thin it- and its like having twice as much paint! As long as it isn't oil paints, just add a bit of water and stir. Start off slow (its like baking a cake- you cant take it out if you put too much in!) You can mix heavy body paints with super heavy, soft or whatever. Just as long as you are sticking to the same type of paint. (acrylic). Definitely, thin it down if you don't like a lot of texture- because Super Heavy Body will retain its shape as it dries. If you dont want to thin it down too much, buy an agent to slow the drying time down. Liquidtex make acrylic paint thinners too.
Here is one really cool thing you can try (since you've already bought the paint!)
';Dry Apply Liquitex Super Heavy Body Acrylic can be applied to a wax or palette paper and let dry. Due to its heavy body, you can peel off dry layers and apply them directly to a canvas, hardboard, mixed media work or sculpture. Use Liquitex Super Heavy Body Gel as an adhesive for attaching dry layers of SHB.
Using Liquitex Super Heavy Body Acrylic you can:
apply SHB to wax or palette paper, let dry and peel off.
apply as is or cut into strips, roll, manipulate into a 3-dimensional form.
weave, sew, staple or attach with Liquitex Super Heavy Gel. ';Is there a way to thin out Liquitex Super Heavy Body paint?
You should be able to mix with any other brands of acrylic paints or mediums. Water is a cheap thinner.
