Depending on the desired effect, the painter will choose an opaque or transparent colour. For example, a glaze requires a transparent colour, while a flat wash requires an opaque colour. To achieve a watercolour-like effect, the painter will select a transparent colour. The versatility of the range allows for an infinite variety of textures.
Van Gogh acrylic is a universal paint with a range of 40 highly pigmented and intense colours. The acrylic is creamy, making the brushstroke clearly visible. You can also mix the paint with water to work in a more diluted or transparent way. Thanks to the short drying time, it is possible to apply several layers quickly one after the other. The high lightfastness ensures that the artworks retain their original vibrant colours for a very long time.
- Intense and brilliant colours - High pigmentation - Creamy paint that gives a distinct brushstroke - Excellent lightfastness guaranteeing long-term colour preservation
