Lascaux Aquacryl combines two worlds: they perform as an acrylic paint, yet are as transparent and light as watercolors. Lascaux Aquacryl is suitable not only for traditional watercolor techniques but also for luminous glazes on large formats. The range is highly pigmented, non-ageing and non-yellowing. They are easily soluble when dry and result in a matte finish. They consist of fine, pure, lightfast pigments and water-soluble age-resistant acrylic resin.

The paint can be applied directly or diluted, not only on watercolor paper but on virtually any firm, porous surface with the use of brush, airbrush and a variety of other painting tools. No matter what the concentration, it dries to a velvety matte finish, durably preserving the richness and intensity of color. Thin applications dry in such a manner that they can be overpainted without dissolving previously applied layers. Conversely, thickly applied layers can be dissolved to produce washes.

Lascaux Gesso is recommended as a primer. To achieve a fine-grained texture, Lascaux Structura is especially suitable. By mixing with acrylic mediums, the paints become waterproof. Lascaux Aquacryl can be used in combination with acrylic paints as a mixed technique. Works are permanently protected with Lascaux Fixative without causing any essential change to their character.
