The texture supports smooth brushing and layering without excessive thinning, while remaining compatible with common acrylic mediums and varnishes. The product is suitable for wet-on-wet work as well as building opaque layers for glazing and correction.

How to use

Shake or knead the tube gently before use to ensure even pigment distribution. Apply with brushes or palette knives directly from the tube, or thin with an appropriate acrylic medium for washes and glazes. For best adhesion, use on primed surfaces; allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers to avoid unintended blending. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water and mild soap.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When mixing colors, test small amounts on a palette or scrap surface to check drying behavior and final hue, as the dried color can differ slightly from the wet appearance.
