Tim Holtz Distress Paints are a specialized line of acrylic paints designed to achieve the vintage, weathered look that is characteristic of the Tim Holtz Distress series. These paints are formulated to be reactive with water, allowing artists and crafters to create layered effects that mimic the appearance of aging and distress on their projects. The unique properties of these paints make them ideal for a wide variety of surfaces including paper, wood, metal, glass, plastic, and more, offering immense versatility for mixed media art, scrapbooking, card making, and home décor projects. Available in a range of colors that coordinate with the Distress palette, Tim Holtz Distress Paints offer a matte finish that retains its intensity even when diluted or layered. The paint's fluid consistency ensures smooth application and coverage, enabling users to apply it with brushes, sponges, or directly from the bottle's dabber top for precise control and minimal mess.
