Jacquard Lumiere light body metallic acrylic paints brush on like butter, slightly level once they are down, but are designed not to spread. This allows for smooth application to soft or flexible surfaces like fabrics or uneven textures like styrofoam, and it remains flexible and soft. They can be used on untreated fabric, leather, silk, paper and wood. They are opaque and bright, even on dark backgrounds and their high pigmentation provides excellent coverage. They can be screened, painted, stenciled, marbled, stamped or brushed on with a soft brush.
