Techniques:

- You can use it as an impasto (thickly), just leave the lid off to thicken. You can learn more about these in a workshop…
- The colors are very pure, very little black is used in creating the colors, except in Graphite, so the colors can be mixed in any combination
Ease of Use:

- The colors are mixed intelligently and Annie Sloan’s web site shows how you can adapt your colors for your use
- Paint is flexible so you can be creative and change your mind
- Paint can be washed off your brush weeks later
- If paint does form a skin on it when you leave the lid off just stir it back in. Just add some water if it’s too thick
- Paint has extremely low VOCs so it will not hurt the environment
