Altered Surfaces
|
IntroductionWelcome! You are now on your way to a wonderful adventure using a myriad of paints and products available in the acrylic paint line. If you love color like I do, then you will discover paints that are richly and generously packed with artist pigments, which will provide you with smooth, luscious and incredible results! Once you start using these artist grade paints you may never go back to 'craft' or 'student' grade paints, which have less pigment. You'll discover that acrylic paints, fluids, gels, mediums, grounds and pastes work as a 'system,' allowing them to be fully compatible with each other. You can mix and match to your heart's content without worry! Be brave, experiment and try new combos - it's the best route to discovery! We are on our way.
