I have this print in black high def acrylate, it looks great. I'm debating whether to just leave it unpainted because it looks fine without it. HDA is now my new favourite material, too bad not many artists utilise it.

Interesting, I usually think that black materials don't show the form well enough but maybe that's just a prejudice on my part. What is it about the look of the HDA that you like?

I find the detail to be sharp and I like how smooth it is. I've always disliked the sandpaper texture of WSF. I'll post a photo of my print if you like.

Nice highlights. Looks a bit glossier than other photos of HDA that I've seen and definitely a lot crisper than the WSF. Whether you decide to paint or not, the natural finish certainly holds its own.

I think I'll have to get a couple of pieces done in this material.
