Full details
This guide is for artists, crafters, and mixed-media enthusiasts seeking a vibrant and reactive purple paint. The key benefit is its water-reactive nature, allowing for unique distressed effects and color blending. A minor caveat is that due to its fluid nature, it may require careful application to avoid unwanted spreading. Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Villainous Potion is a fluid, water-based acrylic paint with a matte finish, designed to react with water for versatile creative applications.

FAQs
How do I achieve the best distressed effect with this paint?
Apply the paint to your surface, then use a water brush, mister, or water droplets to reactivate and move the color. You can also lightly sand the dried paint for an aged look.
Can I use this paint on fabric?
Yes, this paint can be used on fabric. For best results and washability, heat-set the paint according to fabric type recommendations after it has fully dried.
Is this paint permanent once dry?
The paint dries to a matte finish. While durable, for highly handled items or archival projects, sealing it with a compatible varnish or sealant is recommended.
How much paint is in one bottle?
Each bottle contains 29.5 ml (1 fl oz) of paint.
Can I mix this paint with other brands?
While it can be mixed with other acrylics, its unique water-reactive properties may be altered. It is most predictable when used with other products in the Tim Holtz Distress line.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap sealed, the paint typically has a long shelf life, often several years, maintaining its fluidity and color.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thin or spreading uncontrollably
Apply paint more sparingly using a precision applicator or a drier brush. Allow layers to dry completely before adding more or reactivating with water.
Paint appears dried out in the bottle
Ensure the flip-top cap is fully sealed after each use. If a small amount of dried paint is around the opening, gently wipe it away with a damp cloth. If the paint is significantly dried, it may no longer be usable.
Color is not as vibrant as expected
Shake the bottle vigorously before use to ensure the pigment is fully dispersed. Apply a thicker layer of paint or use a porous surface that will absorb the color more readily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply shake the bottle well before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Use the flip-top cap for controlled dispensing.
Compatibility: This paint is fully compatible with the entire Tim Holtz Distress line, including inks, stains, sprays, and mediums. It adheres well to porous surfaces such as cardstock, watercolor paper, wood, canvas, and fabric.
Care: Store the paint upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the flip-top cap is securely closed after each use to prevent drying. Clean brushes, tools, and surfaces immediately after use with water and soap. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.
