Artists have used gouache for centuries because of its matte and opacity, but are limited by its inherently sensitive paint film.
SoFlat moves beyond these limitations to provide a velvety, durable finish. The benefits of SoFlat are extended by its compatibility with other acrylic paints and media, increasing the range of creative effects that can be achieved.
Perhaps the most important quality of SoFlat is the quality itself. Because it is produced using the same professional standards as all of Golden's acrylic paints, you can rely on the performance and consistency of these professional artist paints.
OPACITY AND COVERAGE
When you're striving for the pure color effect, you need a paint that goes down evenly with full intensity in as few coats as possible. While some pigments are naturally transparent, SoFlat has a unique formula that provides greater opacity from these colors than is normally found in acrylic paints.
LEVELING
Perhaps the most distinctive quality, and the one that is perhaps most unique to SoFlat, is the paint's natural smoothing quality. The paint "relaxes" after being brushed out, making it easier to minimize the occurrence of brush strokes for uninterrupted patches of rich matte color.
