DUO Aqua Oil is an artist quality pigment in water-soluble
linseed oil with all the handling characteristics of traditional
oil and so much more. DUO is a wonderfully versatile product
manufactured to Holbein standards of production control,
reliability, light fastness, color vigor and technique handling
control. DUO reproduces the characteristics of traditional oil
color. It finishes with the same texture and brush strokes. DUO
is available in 80 high chroma colors, 75 of which offer optimum
permanence with 24 phthalo and quinacridone pigments but without
the use of heavy metal and other toxic ingredients. DUO
eliminates the odor of solvent from the studio and brushes.
Stainless knives and palette clean up with water. DUO will dry
in as little as 24 hours. Drying uniformity allows the Artist
and Designer greater efficiency and more orderly planning for over coating, texturing and correcting. The drying capabilities
are not diminished by a cold environment. For artists using
transparent water color, gouache and acrylic a blending with DUO
will result in a variety of differing results. (When mixing with
acrylic, add a few drops of water to avoid separation). DUO can
be mixed with traditional oils and mediums that should not be
blended to proportion of more than 30% to avoid insolubility.
DUO with oil color can alter hues and transparencies. Thinned
with water, the blend will permit delicate and fine hatching
detail not easily done with oil color alone. Use rust proof
knives as steel knives will rust. Use plastic or aluminum palette
as wood palettes warp. Wash entire brush head thoroughly. Any
paint remaining in the brush will harden. |
