Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use modeling paste from PENTART for?

PENTART modeling paste is ideal for creating 3D effects and reliefs on various surfaces. You can apply it with a palette knife through stencils or directly onto canvas. Once dry, the surface is firm and ready for further painting with acrylic paints. It’s great for creating textured backgrounds in mixed media projects or decorating wooden objects.

What’s the difference between gloss and matte KREUL varnish?

KREUL varnish is used to seal and protect finished work. Gloss varnish enhances the intensity of the paints and gives the surface a radiant appearance, which is especially useful for detailed paintings. Matte KREUL varnish eliminates unwanted reflections and creates a more natural look. Both versions protect the work from dust, moisture, and UV radiation, extending the life of your artwork.

How should I use ARTMiE® palette knives when working with thick mediums?

ARTMiE® palette knives are designed for precise work with thick pastes and gels. When applying, hold the palette knife at a slight angle to achieve an even layer. Use the tip of the tool to create textures and sharp edges. Clean the palette knife immediately after each use with a damp cloth to prevent medium residue from drying on it, helping your tools last longer.

Do I need special glue for decoupage, or will regular glue work?

For decoupage, we recommend using a special glue and varnish in one from PENTART. Regular glue can yellow over time or cause thin napkin paper to wrinkle. PENTART medium ensures smooth adhesion without bubbles and also creates a protective layer to prevent damage to the delicate motif. It’s an essential tool for anyone who decorates objects using this technique.

What’s the best way to clean brushes after using acrylic paints?

Rinse brushes immediately with lukewarm water after working with acrylics. If the paints have already started to dry, use a special brush cleaner or mild soap. Avoid hot water, which can damage the glue in the ferrule. After cleaning, reshape ARTMiE® brushes and let them dry freely in a horizontal position or with the bristles pointing down to prevent them from becoming misshapen.
