It dries darker because it doesn't absorb into the paper. Much like Yupo, but not as slick. The nice thing is that you can lift the paint and use stencils for some great textures!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186959491936711427.post-47197361381967972522010-05-17T10:57:03.460-04:002010-05-17T10:57:03.460-04:00Why thank you, rivergardenstudio!
