In the world of art, there are countless ways to combine materials and techniques to create impressive works of art. In this blog post, we will focus on the combination of Aquarylic Colors and oil paints and show how you can use these materials to create unique effects and fascinating works of art. At the end of the text, you will also find a video showing how to combine them.

Mixing aquarylic colors and oil paints

Aquarylic Colors are versatile and can be mixed (pasted) with both traditional and water-mixable oil paints. Mixing Aquarylic Colors with traditional oil paints produces a less homogeneous consistency and creates unique effects. Mixing requires a little patience as the colors have very different consistencies. However, with water-mixable oil paints, the mixture is easier and more homogeneous.

application in layers

An exciting way to combine Aquarylic Colors and oil paints is to apply them in layers. Start by applying the oil paint to the canvas or chosen painting surface. The Aquarylic Color can then be brushed over the still wet oil paint. The surfaces look very similar when dry and the character of an oil painting is not lost.

direct mixing on the canvas

Another method for combining Aquarylic Colors and oil paints is to mix them directly on the canvas. First apply a traditional or water-mixable oil paint and then brush the Aquarylic Color over it. The two colors can now be mixed with a spatula to create fascinating effects.

advantages of combining aquarylic colors and oil paints

Using Aquarylic Colors in combination with oil paints offers artists several advantages:

Faster drying: Aquarylic Colors allow for a shorter drying time, so you can paint over them more quickly with oil paints.
Preservation of the oil painting character: Despite the shorter drying time, the character of an oil painting is preserved without cracks appearing or the surface changing.
Additional medium: With Aquarylic Color, oil painters have an additional medium with which they can refine their works of art and also paint transparently.

experiment with different techniques

The key to success when combining Aquarylic Colors and oil paints is experimentation. Work in different layers and techniques to achieve unique and impressive results. This experimental approach makes the resulting works of art particularly exciting and unique.

a wealth of possibilities

Mixing Aquarylic Colors and oil paints offers artists a wealth of possibilities to create stunning and unique works of art. By experimenting with different layers, techniques and combinations, you can achieve extraordinary effects and expand your artistic skills.
