Akua Liquid Pigment
Special Order Item Please see below for details.
Akua Liquid Pigment has been developed for monotype printmaking, but it can also be used for other techniques, such as Japanese woodcut and painting on paper.
The Liquid Pigment contains no chalk, fillers, dryers or polymers, and the addition of honey gives the colours a brilliant, vibrant appearance that dries with a luminous finish. It has a slow-drying formula that will allow for an extended working time to create images on a monotype plate. It is thick in consistency, which is perfect for both additive and reductive monotype techniques. It can be mixed into Akua Intaglio Inks or the Transparent Base to create new colours; it can also be printed on top or beneath Akua Intaglio Inks for multi-plate overlays. The pigment can easily be modified to adjust the sheen, thickness and transparency.
The Liquid Pigment is rolled directly onto the plate rather than transferring from an inking plate, saving time and money.
The pigment cleans up easily with just water and a rag. As there are no suspension agents added, pigment can settle at the bottom of the bottle. There is a mixing ball enclosed in the squeeze bottle to allow you to easily mix the pigment.
Available in 15 lightfast colours in 118ml bottles.
