All 15 colours and 2 effect colours are formulated on a gum arabic base. They contain high-quality organic and inorganic pigments and are characterised by particularly good lightfastness (at least 4-5 stars) and a unique depth of colour. All colours can be used directly, can be mixed with each other and thinned with water. The optimum open times allow perfect finish, the print has sharp contours and an even result. The aqua LINOPRINT colours dry within 15 minutes to be wipe-proof but not waterproof and can be overprinted if necessary.
Medium for water-colours. Increases the water resistance of the colour: avoids dissolving of the colour when painted in several layers and allows more possibilities for transparent painting. To be used for water-colour painting instead of water. Clean brush and palette thoroughly with water and soap immediately after use.
Adhesion promotor for collages with water-colours. Strew or press light materials like textiles, silk paper, pigments or sand into the wet medium. Remains water-soluble like a water-colour. May be used pure or tinted with water-colours. HINT: the product mixed with AQUA fix becomes waterproof.
