- Used neat these paints can be brushed or trowelled on to a surface with a knife, plastic tool or even an old credit card to produce thick, crusty, 3D textured effects.
- Mixed with a little water they can be used to produce delicate a wash.
- These paints don't crack on drying even when applied in thick layers they remain flexible and retain all the wonderful textures of the original application.

Like all Brian Clegg's CleanART Acrylic Paints they are specifically designed to be more user friendly for the student or hobbyist and to provide additional creative elements to the more advanced artist. They are specially formulated to:
- Be cleaned from non-porous surfaces such as work tops, floors and art equipment.
- Work like an acrylic, but, also enable the artist to use watercolour techniques like scrubbing back into dried paint layers.

These acrylic paints have high pigmentation that give vibrant, clean colours that are perfect for colour mixing. They adhere to most surfaces including paper, card, canvas, wood, ceramics, fibre glass and glass, making them ideal for all kinds of art, craft and design work.
NOTE: Although dried deposits of this paint can be removed from non-porous surfaces, it can still stain surfaces and will stain fabrics or clothing. Always use protective clothing and cover surfaces. As these paints are re-wettable, CleanART paints are not recommended for artwork displayed externally or in high humidity environments without being protected with a suitable water resistant varnish.
