It's great Alexis Moore (Miami, USA) on 27 Jan 2020
The only product ever bought from KB that I have been very disappointed with. The description says it has the consistency of oil paint, but the tube I received was very runny - initially it looked like the gum arabic binder had separated, as sometimes happens with watercolour, but I squeezed out a fair amount and it was all very runny. Disappointing, as I had read excellent reviews and was looking forward to trying it. (Also noticed on the back of the tube a warning that it contains chemicals known to cause cancer - probably wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known this earlier, although I might have just missed it in the product description.
