How Painting Gel differs from Line Art Gel

Line Art Gel = thin sheer flow for line work (French tips, swirls, calligraphy). Painting Gel = opaque artist-grade body for filled illustration. Apply Painting Gel like watercolor or acrylic paint — layered, blended, built up. Cure each layer separately for dimensional 3D art.

Premium art techniques

3D floral petals — dab petal shapes with Painting Gel, sculpt with detail brush, cure. Layer additional petals for depth. Character + portrait art — sketch outline with Line Art Gel, fill with Painting Gel layers. Watercolor blending — wet-on-wet Painting Gel before curing creates soft gradient fades. Marbling + tortoise effects — alternate dark + light Painting Gel layers, drag with toothpick.

Application technique

Apply Color Craze base + 1–2 color coats, cure each. Apply no-wipe top coat, cure. Use detail brush dipped in Painting Gel for art work — layer + cure incrementally for 3D depth. Each layer needs full 60-second LED cure. Apply final no-wipe top coat to seal, cure.
