the best tools recommended by us

“When creating your artwork, you should use the word impossible with the utmost caution. Anything is possible if you just try.”

When painting, there are many tools to work with besides a brush. Here we introduce you to some of them, which are particularly suitable for our aquarylic color and acrylic colors.

water spray bottle

The spray bottle is one of the most essential tools for the Aquarylic painting technique.

Since our aquarylic color and acrylic color can be mixed very well with water, the color can be sprayed precisely in the direction you want it. In addition, the color is very well removable. This means that you can correct small mistakes very well with the water spray bottle. You bring an incredible dynamic into the picture with a water jet. Another tip is to let the colors dry for about 15 minutes (depending on the room temperature) and then spray out everything possible. We call this washing out. Be curious which effects arise thereby.

short-bristled brush

With the short-bristled brush, you can create delicate color transitions, whether the brush is dry or wet beforehand. The short brush hair makes it possible to brush the color properly into the artwork. This brush is suitable for any technique and is highly versatile.

whisk

Use it to mix your colors with water for larger quantities. This makes sense, especially for larger sizes. The paint will be evenly mixed and dissolved with the water. A whisk can also be used as a painting tool. There are no limits to your creativity.

conventional soft soap

Always wash your brushes thoroughly with soft soap. Rinse with water and lay the brushes on your table to dry. This will prevent water from running into the ferrule and keep your brushes nice and soft for a long time.

watering can

With a small watering can, you always have water on hand to dilute your colors. Mistakes or unwanted areas can be fixed immediately with a splash of water. Larger washouts also work very well with lots of water.

kitchen sponge

A kitchen sponge is a painting tool that is very well suited to create relatively dry color transitions. It can also be used to partially wash out and scrape off the paint.

hand brush

The hand brush you use on the one hand for cleaning, but also for painting abstract works. You can also use it to brush your brushes after cleaning and to remove paint residue down to the ferrule.

painter’s broom, painter’s trowel, etc.

Tools from the DIY store allow you to apply paint over a large area for representational and abstract works. The larger the tool, the less you can control your painting process. This creates unexpectedness and tension in the painting.

kitchen sieve

Use this to apply iron filings, among other substances. This way, you achieve an even application. It is also easier to apply stone powder or ash through a kitchen sieve.
