Matte White Heavy Texture
Matte White Heavy Texture splits the difference between glossy and matte, resulting in a more subtle appearance. Our formula blends marble dust and pure Tio2 pigment to reduce glare while providing thick, smooth coverage. We recently made our Matte finish for Heavy Texture even thicker, smoother, and stronger.
Venturing beyond traditional matte, this experimental formula offers a uniquely soft, sophisticated look. It stands out by absorbing more light and reducing glare compared to our glossy options. Despite being durable and versatile, it's slightly delicate once dry, so handle with care to avoid damage.
Our Matte White is crafted to seamlessly blend with all gaffrey paints. Making it a great option for using palette knife impasto techniques and for creating sculptural pieces. Your input is highly appreciated as we strive to improve our formulas for a better experience in your daily art endeavors.

IMPORTANT :)
Transparency is key. Below are some crucial insights into how we operate and what you can expect:
- Restocking: We do not provide restocking timelines. Our stock levels depend on a multitude of factors, and we focus on quality over speed.
- Production: We’re a lean team of five, with just two handling all production. We work hard to meet demand, but there are limits to what we can do. We appreciate your understanding.
- Painting Classes: Our focus is on perfecting paints and getting orders out the door quickly, not on teaching. We're all self-taught artists here at GAM, learning through trial and error. Follow us on social media for occasional tips and tricks. We love sharing our discoveries in real time and learning from artists like you!
- Dry Time: Our paints are water-based, okay? We’ll put it this way, a thick layer of Heavy Texture will cure faster than a thin layer of oil paint. Expect variability in drying times and for the love of god, purchase a cheap plugin fan to speed up drying times.
- Firm Pricing: Prices are set to reflect the quality and care we put into our paints. We don’t offer discounts—our goal is to keep our pricing fair and straightforward.
- Modus Operandi: Our paints encourage bold and voluminous use. Don’t like heavy application? That’s fine, but our style celebrates abundance. Use as much or as little as you like, but we design with freedom in mind.
- Product Consistency: Despite our best efforts to maintain consistency, batch variability is inevitable. It’s part of the charm of buying handcrafted paints.
- Packaging: It’s what’s inside the bag that counts. Packaging aesthetics are secondary to the quality of paint we deliver. Some imperfections are to be expected.
- Team Capacity: We started small and remain a small team. Expansions and improvements are ongoing, but expect some delays. We manage our operations with care, not haste.
4 easy steps to pipe heavy texture
1. Snip It
Cut a small piece off the bag, about 3/4 of an inch. Cut further as needed to increase flow of paint.
2. Twist it
Use dominant hand to twist the top until bag feels firm. Apply steady pressure to force air pockets outs.
3. Squeeze it
Guide the nozzle with one hand, applying pressure with the other to control paint thickness and shape.
4. Clip It
Flatten the open end and clip it for short-term storage. For long-term, transfer to airtight container.

This is my go to medium. I love the modeling paste and have had LOTS of fun playing and sculpting with it. I’ve also been gifting it to other painter friends! It’s an excellent product and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in trying it out.
