Natural Sand

The new paste will appear to have a slight grey color, in both wet and dry state, with slightly finer grain size compared to the previous formula. A variance in grain size is part of the normal properties of the product.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Other creatives have asked us...

What's the difference between Natural and Resin Sand mediums?

Two things: the particles - Resin Sand is actually tiny acrylic granules, while Natural Sand contains real sand. And the result - Resin Sand gives a coarser dry finish.

A friend has been adding sand to her acrylic paint to create texture - is this a good idea?

Avoid adding sand to acrylic paint. It can introduce contaminants affecting your work's aging. Use Natural Sand or Resin Sand mediums for texture.
