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 overcoating, 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 plasic or aluminum palette as wood palettes warp. Wash entire brush head throughly. Any paint remaining in the brush will harden. The color on the left is pigment from the tube, and the color on the right is pigment thinned with painting oil medium.
