The paste is as thick as the paint and can therefore be described as a water-mixable oil paint without any pigment. This paste is composed of vegetable oils and thickening agents and has various uses:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncreasing the amount of paint:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePainting paste can be used for impasto techniques (applying pure paint in thick strokes with a painting knife) using more expensive colours, so you can increase the amount of paint without there being difference in colour. The more paste you add, the more transparent the paint becomes. The painting paste also allows thick paint to dry completely to the core, preventing wrinkling or rippling during and after drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecreasing the colour intensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe colour intensity of the paint will decrease as more painting paste is added. This may be particularly important with the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique when mixing colours with a highly divergent colour intensity with one another in your painting. By adding more painting paste to a stronger colour, this becomes less prominent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProperties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases the transparency and thickness of the paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents wrinkling of thick layers of paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetains the degree of gloss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be thinned with water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not influence the drying time of the paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases the durability of the paint film.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellows slightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Quality Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47694392852617,"sku":"RT24061087","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/9143\/6937\/files\/ScreenShot2026-07-28at2.36.20PM.png?v=1785274765","url":"https:\/\/nvfinearts.com\/products\/cobra-painting-paste-087-tube-200-ml","provider":"Nevada Fine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
