Are KROMA tube colours the same viscosity as KROMA jar colours?
Yes. While some companies offer paint in more than one thickness and package them in corresponding packaging, with thicker, paste like paint in tubes and thinner, fluid paint in jars or bottles, KROMA paint is formulated in one viscosity which falls somewhere in between these two extremes, and is suited to a wide variety of applications. The viscosity of the paint does not reflect the amount of pigment it contains, but rather the amount of thickeners used. KROMA acrylics are fully loaded with pigments. The thickness of the paint can be altered by using clear mediums and gels to make it thicker, or can be diluted with fluid mediums or water to make it thinner and to achieve watercolour–like effects and washes. Powdered solids can also be added such as calcium carbonate or sand to create peaks or granular textures.
