Developed out of practice

Our paints are not created at a desk, but out of real artistic practice.

Founder Angelika Domenig is an artist herself and spent many years teaching at a wide range of academies. Working with thousands of course participants, the same gap showed up again and again: a paint medium was missing that brought together properties the market simply did not offer.

Out of that recurring need, Angelika Domenig took the development into her own hands. Together with industry experts, and in close dialogue with an early feedback circle of artists, Aquarylic Color came into being – a paint that follows not one single idea, but the experience and the demands of countless artists.

Early on she was supported in this by her son Philipp, who has been part of the journey from the start. Today his partner Julia and Angelika’s husband Thomas are part of the company as well. Together with the team in marketing and production, this makes a family business that works in Vorarlberg, Austria, with great care, real knowledge of materials, and the ambition to create the finest artist quality.

Questions from the community

What do I use Modeling Paste for?

Our Modeling Paste comes ready to use and brings texture, relief and depth to your paintings, in figurative and abstract work alike. Its consistency is like a smooth cake batter: you spread it with a spatula or painting knife on canvas, wood or paper, and while it is still wet you can scrape it off again or move it around. Deep Black gives you a velvety black relief ground on which glazes glow with particular intensity.

Does Modeling Paste dry matte?

Yes. Modeling Paste dries matte and keeps an absorbent surface, so even once dry it takes further layers of paint and glazes well. The colored Modeling Pastes look a little darker while wet and lighten to their final shade as they dry.

What can I paint Modeling Paste with?

With Aquarylic Color, Acrylic Paint, Chalk Paint or pigments. You don’t have to wait for the paste to dry: working wet-in-wet, you paint straight into the fresh paste or pour paint over it. That gives you flowing transitions and drip effects. One example from our guides: apply Modeling Paste and white Chalk Paint in turns, let it set for no more than 15 minutes, then generously pour Aquarylic Color diluted 1:1 with water over it.

Why does my Modeling Paste crack?

Applied thickly, the paste can form fine cracks, especially when it dries quickly, for example with a hair dryer. If you want a calm surface, apply it more thinly and let it dry without a hair dryer. If you are after a crackle look, use exactly that: apply it thickly and give it a short blast with the hair dryer.

Can I work fillers, iron filings or paper into it?

Yes. While the Modeling Paste is still wet, work Gray Stone Powder, iron filings or papers for collages straight into it. The more irregular you are, the more exciting the result. Iron filings that stay visible once dry can then be rusted with the oxidizing agent.

When do I seal a painting with Modeling Paste?

Only at the very end, when no more paint is going on. Until then the surface stays open and absorbent and keeps taking glazes. Our Final Varnish is well suited for sealing: it protects the finished painting, fixes texture materials and fillers, and dries transparent with a satin matte finish.
