Fundamental Versatility of Liquitex Acrylic Ink

This is a detailed analysis of the primary advantages of Liquitex Acrylic Ink, crafted to be concise and easy to understand.

Liquitex
Acrylic Ink: The Ultimate Fluid Art Medium

Liquitex Acrylic Ink stands out as a top
choice for artists seeking a highly versatile, professional-grade liquid colour.
It combines the best qualities of traditional inks and acrylic paints, offering
numerous advantages:

  1. Archival & Lightfast: Made
    with fine art pigments, not dyes. Your artwork won't fade over time,
    ensuring your creations last for generations.
  2. Waterproof When Dry: Once
    dry, it's completely permanent and water-resistant. This allows for
    effortless layering without disturbing previous washes, preventing muddy colours.
  3. Ultra-Fluid, Zero Clog: Its
    low viscosity means it flows smoothly without needing to be thinned.
    Perfect for delicate work in airbrushes, technical pens, dip pens, and for
    precise pouring.
  4. High Pigment Concentration:
    Delivers vibrant, intense colours even when diluted. A little goes a long
    way.
  5. Versatile Application: Can
    be used with brushes, airbrushes, dip pens, and technical pens for
    pouring, staining, or even directly from the dropper.
  6. Intermixable: Fully
    compatible with all other Liquitex acrylic products (paints, mediums,
    gels), allowing for endless creative possibilities in mixed media.
  7. Fast-Drying: Speeds
    up your workflow, allowing you to build layers and move through your
    process more quickly than with traditional watercolours or oils.
  8. Transparent to Opaque: Can
    be used in thin, translucent washes for watercolour-like effects, or built
    up for rich, opaque coverage.

In short, Liquitex Acrylic Ink offers artists:

  • Durability:
    Artwork that won't degrade.
  • Flexibility: Works
    with almost any tool or technique.
  • Brilliance: Rich,
    pure colours that pop.

It's an indispensable tool for illustrators,
calligraphers, mixed-media artists, and anyone looking to add vibrant,
permanent liquid colour to their work.

Description

SpectraFix Degas matte fixative, made from pure casein, works effectively on all dry media and supports. It dries rapidly without releasing toxic fumes or odours. This non-toxic fixative, composed of casein (a purified milk protein), water, and alcohol, follows an old recipe used by French Impressionist Edgar Degas. Milk casein protects and seals your artwork while preserving vivid colours, with no harmful emissions or smells. The spray dries quickly, enables deep layering, and offers good grip on media with thick layers. It is suitable for mixed media and dries to a durable, water-resistant surface.

The mixture of casein, water, and alcohol offers a safe, odourless way to protect your artwork, making it suitable for indoor environments, especially for those sensitive to chemicals. It can be applied to all types of paper, including sueded or gritted (excluding LaCarte), as well as Yupo, primed or unprimed canvas, wood panels, unglazed ceramic, stone, leather, glass, and more. While it can stiffen and safeguard fabric art, it should not be used on washable clothing.

SpectraFix Degas is compatible with Soft and Oil Pastel, Coloured Pencil, Graphite, Charcoal, as well as Watercolour, Gouache, Casein, Ink, Wax paints, or layered with other media in Encaustic. Use beneath Oil or Acrylic paints to prevent smudging of preliminary drawings. Not suitable as a final top coat over acrylic or oil paint.

FEATURES:

  • It contains no toxic fumes, so you can spray indoors safely. 
  • The fast-drying, invisible matte finish is perfect for ongoing work at your easel.
  • Reworkable layers make it easy to add depth and traction, especially on thick media such as oil pastels or coloured pencils. It is water-resistant, offering a tough, protective seal for your artwork.
  • Dimensions 10 oz‏: ‎ 25.4 x 6.35 x 6.35 cm; 10 x 2.5 x 2.5 in

COMPATIBLE SURFACES

  • SpectraFix functions on a variety of surfaces, including:
  • Paper (excluding LaCarte)
  • Primed or unprimed canvas
  • Wood, ceramic, stone, leather, glass, and more.

SUITABLE FOR MULTIPLE MEDIA

  • Pastels: Soft, Pan, and Oil Pastels
  • Drawing Media: Colored Pencil, Graphite, Charcoal, Chalk
  • Mixed Media: Watercolour, Gouache, Casein, Ink, and Encaustic
  • Under Oil & Acrylics: Prevents underdrawing smudges and bonds permanently with oil layers, similar to egg tempera, making it ideal for grisaille or underpainting.

Notes:

Not advised as a final top coat for acrylic or oil paints; however, it may be layered in multimedia projects and sealed later with acrylic or oil varnish.
