I like to use this paint on smooth surfaces such as gesso board, but it works great on well sanded canvas as well. The pigment is very rich, just a tiny bit on the tip of the brush can produce beautiful color that goes a surprisingly long way on the canvas. I do use a slightly thicker titanium white from another brand when I am trying to mask an area to paint over, as the white from these Golden fluid paints sometimes requires 2 coats in my experience. A wet palette is highly recommended, because these spread thin on the palette and as such dry very quickly. I like that I can paint almost like gouache without having to thin the paint with a medium or water like I would with heavy body acrylics.

Love this shade of purple! I have finally found my perfect shade of purple. Light or a heavy coat it is the quintessential color of purple. A little goes a long way so you get your money's worth.

I used this as exterior paint on primed metal, and planning to use MSA spray varnish to weatherproof it. The colors are powerful strong, but I'm attempting to hide brushstrokes and not quite able to achieve that so far. Now I am adding some water to the paint and that helps hide brushstrokes, but it will be a learning curve, if it can be accomplished at all. Primary Magenta and Pyrole Orange are explosively bright and brushstrokes are less visible. Perhaps they are more opaque colors than the Cobalt Blue and Pthalo Green Yellow Shade.
