How to use Aquapasto medium

Aquapasto is a watercolour medium that increases the thickness and viscosity of your paint. Mix it directly with Watercolour or Gouache, blending thoroughly to ensure even consistency.

Vary the amount of Aquapasto to control the impasto texture, using more will create thicker, more textured brush strokes.

This makes it great for experimenting with mark-making techniques such as sgraffito (scratching into wet paint) or blending for added detail and surface interest.

The ratio of pigment to Aquapasto will influence the opacity of your paint, so you can adjust this to achieve the level of transparency or coverage you want.

Aquapasto can be used wet-on-wet for soft blending or applied in dry layers for a no-lift effect when painting over dried areas. You can also add water to loosen the paint for broader, more fluid strokes.

After use, wash your brushes thoroughly. Keep in mind that Aquapasto extends drying time, giving you more flexibility to work with the paint before it sets.
