paint
create your artwork
Before you start a work of art, it’s crucial to explore various implementation options. Create sketches or an idea catalog and select the appropriate picture format.
primer
Priming is the foundation of every artwork. Whether you’re creating an underpainting with colors, sketching, or working with structural materials – priming is key. Use smooth putty, homemade mixtures of acrylic adhesive and stone powder, iron filings, ash, sand, or paper. These materials create interesting heights and depths in the picture, providing a perfect base for the initial color applications.
textures
Different textures on the substrate affect how the paint is absorbed and create visual tension. Experiment with various structural materials and tools. The contrast of these textures brings dynamism to your painting and can produce surprising “wow effects.”
monochrome composition
Monochrome painting, where you use only one color, offers a unique challenge. This technique forces you to focus on tonal values and composition, which is very beneficial in the learning process. After the monochrome composition, transition to the highly pigmented Aquarylics and our acrylics to add additional layers and dimensions.
glazing technique with aquarylic
The glazing technique, involving the application of thin and transparent layers of paint, allows for multi-layered depth and expressiveness. This traditional painting technique, applied with our acrylic paints and Aquarylic Color, gives your artworks a special character. The layers can either dry before applying another, or you can work wet-on-wet to let the color pigments blend into each other.
brushed, spatulaed or poured
Whether brushed, applied with a spatula, or poured – explore the multitude of possibilities with Aquarylic Color and our acrylic paints. Experiment with different techniques to achieve the desired effect, whether it’s impasto in thick layers or translucent in a glazing method.
