lightfastness
The lightfastness of a paint indicates how well it retains its original color intensity and brilliance when exposed to light, especially sunlight. Paints with high lightfastness resist fading and yellowing over time, which is especially important for works that are displayed in well-lit rooms or even outdoors.All of our paints are known for their excellent lightfastness. The use of high-quality, lightfast pigments ensures that your artwork will continue to shine in vibrant colors even after many years. This quality makes our paints the perfect choice for artists who want to protect their works in the long term.
opacity
The opacity describes how well a color covers the surface. It can vary from transparent to opaque. Transparent colors allow the surface or underlying layers of color to shine through, while opaque colors cover them completely.
Our Aquarylic Colors are deliberately available in semi-transparent and transparent shades. This opens up a wide range of creative possibilities for artists. Transparent colors are ideal for glazing techniques in which several layers of color are applied on top of each other to create depth and complexity. Despite their transparency, the Aquarylic Colors are extremely bright and colorful, which is due to the quality of the pigments and binding agent used.
why transparency is not a disadvantage
Transparent shades allow you to work in layers and create subtle gradients and nuances. These techniques add a special depth and dimension to the artwork that is often difficult to achieve with opaque colors.
