This is very thick and creamy heavy body paint. If you want a similar product for a cheaper price, go to Dick Blick and try their heavy body artist acrylics which can be mixed with any acrylic paint or medium for a thicker paint. I use the heavy body paints to mix with regular acrylics to make stencil paint. Be sure to mix with enough acrylic to make it thin enough so it does not take all the bristles out of your stencil brushes. Practice on cardboard until consistency is similar to stencil paint.
