High Flow Acrylics are an ultra-thin paint with ink-like consistency that provide incredible versatility. They can go directly from bottle to airbrush, refillable marker or dip pen and work great for drawing, staining, dripping, pouring, calligraphy and color washes.
High Flow offers a palette that includes many single-pigment colors, as well as Fluorescent and Iridescent colors. While it acts like an ink, it’s an acrylic so it's compatible with other GOLDEN Acrylic colors and mediums.
Characteristics:
- Very thin, ink-like acrylic colors
- Great for washes, drips, pours and glazes
- Use in pens, markers and airbrush
- A set of 86 colors, including Fluorescent and Iridescent Colors made with the same ingredients of other GOLDEN Artist Colors paint lines.
- Formulated with 100% acrylic polymer dispersion, resulting in a durable paint layer with excellent water and chemical resistance.
- Made with finely ground pigments to reduce clogging issues in small tips and nozzles.
- Additives such as flow improvers, film levelers and retarders create a very thin and free-flowing paint.
- Application use ranges from fine line-work to large passages on a variety of surfaces, such as paper, canvas, panel and other artist supports.
Assure the paint is well-mixed prior to use
NOTE: High Flow Acrylics are likely to have a degree of separation and soft settling when they are not being used. Before using, follow this procedure to assure a homogenous paint
-
- Assure the twist top cap is closed and secure prior to shaking the container
- If necessary, free up the mixing ball inside the container by carefully tapping the bottom edge against a hard surface
- Shake the container for 30 seconds or until the product is evenly mixed
- Some colors may require a longer mixing time than others due to pigment density
- Re-shake the bottle after long periods of time or whenever there are signs of settling
General Thinning Instructions: Thinning is readily accomplished by simply adding water. Adding over 20% water begins to change other properties. Using a blend of Airbrush Transparent Extender and water can thin the paint and maintain the paint’s integrity. Adding only Airbrush Transparent Extender increases transparency and lowering the pigment amount but does not thin the High Flow Acrylics.
