Lascaux : Aquacryl Artists' Watercolor Paint

Lascaux Aquacryl is an artist quality translucent paint. This is a hybrid that combines performance of an acrylic paint with the transparency and lightness of a watercolor. These water soluble colors can be used for delicate watercolor techniques or large-scale glazings. They consist of fine, pure, lightfast pigments, as well as water soluble, age-resistant acrylic resin.
When used at full-strength they handle like a smooth, fluid acrylic, resulting in a velvety matt finish. When diluted, they produce watercolor-like washes. They are easily water soluble for a limited time, as long as they are applied in thick layers. Thin applications can be painted over without being dissolved by subsequent layers.

Lascaux Gesso is recommended as a primer. To achieve a fine-grained texture, Lascaux Structura is especially suitable. By mixing with acrylic mediums, the paints become waterproof. Lascaux Aquacryl can be used in combination with acrylic paints for a mixed technique. Works can be permanently protected with Lascaux Fixative without causing any essential change to their character.
