Lascaux Water Resoluble Medium
Composition:
Pure acrylic dispersion made with wetting additives and preservatives.
Properties:
•• colorless
•• lightfast and age-resistant
•• dries to a water-soluble consistency
Application, processing and instructions
•• as a binding agent for the production of watercolor paints (water-soluble matte film) with powder pigments and aqueous pigment pastes. The paints can be diluted with water to produce uniform glazes. The paint film remains elastic
•• in restoration, this medium is used for retouching work, similar to the layering technique •• as a painting medium for Lascaux Aquacryl watercolors or Lascaux Gouache
•• applied diluted with water to watercolor paper, this painting medium reduces the absorbency, which makes it easier to wash out
Processing
To produce watercolors in small quantities, powder pigments or pastes can be worked directly into the medium with a spatula or bristle brush. The pigments are quickly absorbed by the binding agent. Better wetting of the pigments can be achieved if they are made into a thick paste with diluted medium in a ratio of 1:9 as mixing water and then mixed with the required amount of pure medium. For larger quantities of paint, a mixer or stirrer is useful. Adding more medium produces a watercolor paint, adding less produces colors with a matte gouache character. The ratio of medium to pigment can be varied as desired; The standard formula is 1 part color powder to 1 part medium per volume (it should be noted that light pigments require more binding agent than heavy ones). In heavily diluted aquacrylic paints, the addition of Water Resoluble Medium increases the binding agent content and consistency. If more medium is added, from around 100%, the gloss level of the otherwise matt paint changes.
Notes Physiologically and toxicologically harmless.
