    I like the weight of these paints. They are thin and smooth, and allow you to work by slowly building up layers while retaining good coverage. They give a nicer, fuller look than inks or liquid acrylics and thinning down heavy-body acrylics to achieve this consistency dilutes the color, so its not the same. I was turned onto these by Dave DeVries, and now I use them for almost all of the illustration work I do.

    these are great acrylics - easy application, color fidelity. mixing colors can be a problem (as i suppose is the case with acrylics, generally), and fast drying allows little time to work the paint on canvas. however, they do well in creating washes and are thick enough to achieve opaque colors, even light over dark colors.

    My local Artist shop put me onto these several years ago when they first stocked them, their versitility is amazing when used with their other medium enhancing range.
