Aero Color Professional Candy colors are highly transparent and brilliant with the ability to provide a strong depth and range of color. They mix beautifully and artists working with ink or watercolor, as well as illustrators, will appreciate the array of shades you can produce from just a few colors without any mudding of the mixes. They are ideal for bold, bright pieces and while their transparency means you can both use a pen on top of a wash once it's dry or layer a wash on top of an earlier pen drawing, you can also build up layers to make the paint opaque. They use a binder and are water and pigment based. If you want the inks to flow easily, we recommend using acrylic paper or slightly damp watercolor paper.

Aero Color Professional are highly light-resistant, brilliant air-brush colors from the Schmincke company developed specially for the air-brush spray-gun but also great to use with retouching pens, dip-pens and brushes. Aero Color Professional is distinguished by its ideal qualities. Schmincke's finest air-brush colors have a pleasant odor, are easy to use, water-resistant and can be used on almost all fat-free surfaces. All colors are ready-to-use and can also be used undiluted due to their very fine pigmentation. If required, they can be diluted with Aero Medium (Art.-No.50 602) or water. All colors come in tough 30 ml pipette jars and some are also available in plastic 250 ml and 1000 ml jars for more frequent use.

Many of the 36 colors as well as the 12 new effect colors are single-pigment shades that guarantee brilliant mixtures and an unlimited variety of shades.

A large number of the bright colors are glazed or semi-glazed. They can be made opaque by adding a slight quantity of extremely opaque Aero Color Professional color Supra-White, opaque (28 101) without being made any brighter or losing their tinting strength.

Aero Color Professional adheres particularly well to all sorts of papers and cardboards as well as the usual, non-absorbent surfaces such as film, hard plastics, canvas and - after appropriate preliminary treatment - metal. The colors are easy to mask and excellent for graphic designs and special air-brush techniques. Aero Color Professional dries semi-matt, is water-resistant and is easy to reproduce.

As the result of many years of research and development work all shades have one unique feature in the air-brush market. After a short time Aero Color Professional turns viscous after being stored, but liquifies after being shaken briefly once. So "Shake & Spray" stands for the colors' simple and quick "shakeability", including the highest pigmentations, thanks to its unique and innovative formula.

Schmincke Aero Color Candy acrylic inks are available in 9 different colors.
