High Flow Colors Introduction
In July of 2013 Golden Artist Colors introduced a new line of acrylic colors to replace Airbrush Colors: HIGH FLOW. This new paint has the viscosity of ink, with the integrity of artist quality acrylic paint. The 49 colors are a perfect pigment match for Golden's other lines of acrylic colors, but this formulation can go directly into an airbrush or empty marker without thinning. The low viscosity also makes this paint an excellent choice for detail painting, pen and ink, pouring and mixed media.
High Flow Acrylics Paint in Empty Markers
High Flow acrylics offer all the benefits of an artists' quality acrylic paint, but with an ink-like consistency. Because of the low-viscosity, High Flow can be used to fill empty markers as a way of incorporating higher quality paints in street art, or bringing the speed and convenience of marker pens to fine are painting.
