Softees water based acrylic paints are a unique formulation that is smooth and creamy - perfect for base coating, brushwork and dry brushing. Opaque coverage can be achieved in one coat; two thin coats are recommended. Softees® Acrylics are non-toxic. Softees® are highly pigmented acrylic paints that can be used on ceramic bisque, wood, fabric, plaster, paper, and metal. Softees® are more concentrated (less water) than most conventional acrylic craft paints, so it takes fewer coats to get deep, opaque, rich color.
