A few weeks ago I found out about a sample giveaway of Atelier Interactive Acrylic Paint on an art list I belong to.  I immediately signed up and received the paint last week.  I needed to make some art postcards to send to Jane Davies (who is trying to save her local postoffice - read about that here ) and so I pulled out the paint samples , the Gelli Plate and my Crafters Workshop stencils . . . . . .and made a few postcards. The paint was thinner than I imagined it would be.  My good quality acrylics are very thick but these weren't quite paste and weren't quite watery either.  They are made with great pigment though and they spread very nicely on the Gelli Plate.
