VERY GOOD QUALITY
A high to very high degree of lightfastness, thanks to the use of pure and colorfast pigments. Even after decades the work retains its original color.
An exceptionally durable paint film (the binder consists of a 100% acrylic resin), for an everlasting result.
Alkaline resistant, and therefore suitable for new walls and concrete after priming.
HIGH EASE OF USE
The thickness of the paint is ideal for all sorts of techniques and applications, as well as for mixing colors. The paint can easily be diluted with water, as well as with mediums.
The drying time is short: thin layers of paint dry within approx. 30 minutes. After drying the brush stroke remains somewhat visible. The layer of paint has a satin sheen. The paint is virtually odourless.
