The paint has a pouring medium, which makes conventional acrylic paints a bit thicker, just like the consistency of shampoo or a stable construction. Our paint has a pour methodology that makes it a water-like texture. Our visitors use the 2 instruments to first pour the paint straight out of the cup onto the figurine after which recycle the paint that lands of their tray utilizing these instruments. The spoon is for the heavy lifting, and the pipette is for element work.
