Worked for what was needed. Make sure you know what it's for.

Age of use is from 7 to 18 years. A little thin. Make sure you understand the purpose of this use. Needs a little education if not. The 18 year old granddaughter took the driftwood and put it in AFTER the driftwood had dried. Acrylic paint works very well. Add black acrylic paint and then use it as a primer under the acrylic metallic to make it even more vibrant. It also comes in black to avoid this step. A bit pricey for the amount you get. But in my opinion it's worth it. Visit YouTube for…

Pros
  • Goods for drawing, painting and crafts
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

This is complete bullshit, $5 spray paint works MUCH better. NOTHING WORSE THAN THAT. DO NOT get a smooth finish. It may be worth it if covered with a coat or two. I'm uncovering a red and white box to paint it a different color and I want the new color to be even. It will not cover. After applying two coats 24 hours later and not sanding between coats, I can still read the fine print (red on white) on the box and the red images are still clearly visible. A dime bottle of baby water color gives

Pros
  • For mixing with Liquitex professional acrylic paints and mediums.
Cons
  • Obsolete

I mainly use plaster in sketchbooks for one of two purposes: first, applying a coat or two of white plaster leaves the bottom drawing mostly visible but not too noticeable, and offers good water resistance. surface for painting. Secondly, unnecessary drawings are…

Pros
  • For preparing surfaces for painting with acrylics and oils
Cons
  • Small parts

This is a must-have for any painter; be it hobby, student or even professional use. Even if I've bought primed or unprimed canvas, I always apply an extra coat or two of this gesso as it prepares the surface for better paint adhesion. It has a very fine grainy texture, but between coats it can be gently sanded with wet or dry 400 grit sandpaper. This makes your canvas or other support very smooth, which is very important, especially to help you see the finest details achieve in your work. .…

Pros
  • Lightweight, non-toxic and dries to a waterproof, non-yellowing finish

  • High Price
