Use a brush, palette knife, or sponge to apply the paint to your surface. The medium viscosity allows for both smooth strokes and texture. — Apply the Paint 3.

This paint is designed for easy blending, allowing you to create a wide range of hues and effects. — Mix and Blend 4. Clean your brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water.
