Fine layers & special effects by thinning with water
Paint consistency – what suits your project?
🟡 Straight from the pot, the paint is rather thick – ideal if you like texture, visible brushstrokes, or a rustic finish.
💧 Slightly thinned (5–10% water), the paint can be applied more smoothly and evenly, perfect for a modern, uniform look.
🌊 Heavily thinned, it creates a glaze or the popular “washed look,” where the surface shows through slightly – ideal for creative effects or wood grain aesthetics.
How to mix correctly:
1. Pour the required amount of paint into a separate bowl or container
2. Gradually add water – and stir well
3. It is better to measure carefully and test rather than thinning too much at once
4. For larger surfaces: It is best to measure the mixing ratio (e.g., 9 parts paint, 1 part water) to ensure a consistent result across multiple batches.
Conclusion
Whether opaque, textured, or delicately glazed – you determine the look, and the paint can do it all!
