How to use

Shake each bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply with fine brushes for detail or broader brushes for washes. Thin with water or an appropriate acrylic thinner to achieve glazes, washes or translucent effects; multiple thin layers provide better control and smoother blends than single heavy coats. Allow sufficient drying time between layers and use a primer on non-porous surfaces for improved adhesion.

Usage recommendations

For painting magical and elemental effects, start with a mid-tone base, apply ink shades for depth, then build highlights with the electric blue, pale yellow or squid pink. Use diluted layers to create smooth transitions and keep brush strokes minimal for glowing or energy effects. Clean brushes and caps with water immediately after use to prevent drying in the nozzle.
