– I WAS invited to a Facebook group about thick Paint from a fellow painter from Austria. Later I discovered he was also the creator of a line of artist oil paints specially formulated for painting thickly.
The inventor, Walter Haas, offered to send me a set to try. In the accompanying video you will see me paint a cloudscape with Lilly Paints. I found the paint to have a unique quality especially suited to painting with impasto and the experience, due to its textural qualities, was nearly effortless.
IN an email Walter related that he had experimented with a wide variety of mixture to insure a smooth yet thick paint. The paint really is unique, combining both fluidity and the ability to paint over preceding layers without effort. My compliments to Lilly for making such a fantastic line of paints.

Many thanks to Walter Haas and Lilly Paints for letting me try this amazing paint.
