3. Squeeze it
Guide the nozzle with one hand, applying pressure with the other to control paint thickness and shape.

FAQ
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies based on humidity, temperature, and paint thickness. Takes about 60-90 minutes to dry to the touch and at least 5-7 days to fully dry. Use fans to speed up drying.
Can I use Heavy Texture on canvas or other surfaces?
Utilize wood panels when working with Heavy Texture for optimal paint structure; the bounciness of canvas can be a hindrance with large volumes of paint.
Test drying process of Heavy Texture on small samples of intended surface to determine compatibility.
Can I mix Heavy Texture with regular acrylics?
Our 'regular' acrylic paints, Acrylic Colors collection, are made to be mixed with Heavy Texture. While Heavy Texture is mostly compatible with other acrylic brands, results may vary. Conduct a small mixing test to check compatibility and consider using gaffrey paints for best results.
Do I need a gesso to prime my surface before using Heavy Texture?
Choose our Base Coats over gesso for artist-quality paint infused with marble dust for better adhesion. Only need 1-2 coats to prime you panel.

Love it, it’s a true green,so it’s easy to take it lighter, darker, more blue or more yellow. I am exploring 3-d florals, so this green is versatile for my experimental paintings. Texture is so smooth which allows one to replicate many textures within a painting
Using Gaffrey Art Materials has reignited the artist in me. I love using the thick paint to create my works. I hope to be as good as you some day, but until then, your videos, technique strategies, and materials are the best ever! Thank you.
Color doesn’t matter. Your paints are the bomb. I have told many fellow artists in New Smyrna Beach, Fl area to check you out. Hmmm I might be making too much competition lol. I did a mannequin bust calling her the Fall of Eve. I would love for you to check her out @artbydebbieanye. Notice the legs I also did. Thank you
