Porter’s Paints Colour Expert, Melanie Stevenson, said the properties of the Smooth Impasto paint affords the range its signature pigment intensity, a tactile softness and ultra-matte finish.

“The focus is also on the range’s application, which is characterised by its lack of uniformity, a distinct layering of colour with subtle but visual brush marks that is both beautifully textured and undeniably original.”
