• The acrylics are excellent for blending with a brush, with a rag, etc.
• The dry time for these acrylics is waaaaaay longer than the heavy body acrylics.
• Within a 2 hour paint along, the paints were still very wet!
• The Acrylic Thinner makes the paint incredibly smooth, it feels like you are gliding across the paper.
• The Acrylic Medium, Gel Matte is quite thick and does not run at all
• The Acrylic Matte Medium is thicker than the acrylic thinner, but not remotely as thick as the gel matte.
• These paints would pair well with acrylic inks.

• The Acrylic Medium, Gel Matte makes the paint very very thin, thinner than the Acrylic Thinner.
• The Titan buff was very thin, it’s not like Naples Yellow at all! (like I was hoping for it to be)
• These paints are very thin in general, to get any degree of opacity you would need at least 3 layers.
• To get more opacity, an option is to add heavy body acrylic where you need it.
• If you try to paint opacity in 1 layer, it won’t do it. You need the heavy body acrylic to do that.
• Certain colors stayed wet longer, the carbon black dried the fastest
