To be diluted with water for use (max. 30%) and applied with a pad, brush or spray on non-water-resistant supports. Gold leaf can be applied after 30-60 minutes. Product layers should be as thin and uniform as possible.

It was recommended to me by someone and having used Arches I found it was a good cheaper alternative. It worked well with granulating paints.

Tracedown is a product I have used before. This pack was reasonably priced, and arrived in good condition and very quickly. Thank you.

As always, Arches oil painting paper is wonderful especially for oil & cold wax medium work where layering & texture is king!

I bought this brush some time ago based on a recommendation from someone— can't remember who though. I then forgot about it until I received a request to write a review from The Southbank Art Company. I've now tried it, and I've found it to be a lovely brush to use. It lays down the paint beautifully. It also holds a lot of paint enabling continued use without having to return to the palette so often. The point of the brush is good too, giving a lovely narrow lines where necessary.
I'll continue to use this brush, and will probably look at buying other sizes too.
