5 reasons you'll love our Aquarylic Color
Art lives from the materials it is made with. With Aquarylic Color we developed a paint medium of our own. It combines the luminosity and sheen of oil paint with the transparency and flow of watercolor – and opens up a wide range of painting techniques for you.
1 Luminosity – colors that glow
The high pigment density, combined with the transparency and sheen of our binder, gives a strong radiance. With Aquarylic Color you build up colors layer by layer without them losing luminosity – on paper, canvas and other painting surfaces.
2 Colors made with passion – developed by an artist
We know how important the right materials are for your art – one of our founders has been an artist for more than 25 years. Her experience gave rise to the idea of a new paint medium that can be used not only like watercolor or acrylic, but that offers possibilities of its own thanks to its composition.
To make sure our products fit the needs of artists, we work closely with academies, teachers and creatives. Their feedback flows directly into the development of our paints.
3 Artist quality that makes the difference
Only when the quality of your paints is right can you fully immerse yourself in your creative process. Our paints are made from highly lightfast pigments that protect your art from fading. We leave out fillers that would dull the brilliance of your work. The fluid, creamy consistency lets the paint flow evenly and follow every movement of your brush – so your vision takes shape layer by layer.
4 Combines with your paints
Aquarylic Color connects classic and modern painting techniques. Whether with watercolor, acrylic, gouache, chalk paint or oil: Aquarylic Color fits in seamlessly, and the fluid, creamy consistency allows soft transitions and dynamic effects.
5 Lightfastness – art that lasts
An artwork is an expression of your creativity and should last. Our paints are formulated to keep their intensity and brilliance for years. Even under strong light exposure they stay stable, so your works glow the way you created them.

Frequently asked questions
Isn’t Aquarylic Color just liquid acrylic paint?
No. Aquarylic Color is not acrylic paint “made a bit thinner”, it is a medium of its own in artist quality. The big difference lies in the formulation: we deliberately leave out fillers entirely. That way the color effect is not shaped by extenders, but by the pigment alone. This is exactly what makes Aquarylic Color so free-flowing, so brilliant and so remarkably luminous.
Why is the paint so fluid?
The fluid consistency of Aquarylic Color is intentional and part of the concept. Because we deliberately leave out fillers, the paint stays exceptionally free-flowing and spreads with ease. That gives you smooth gradients, fine transitions and a freer, more direct way of working with the pure pigment.
Why is Aquarylic Color transparent to semi-transparent?
Aquarylic Color is transparent to semi-transparent because its color comes from the pigment itself and is not influenced by fillers. That gives you clear, unaltered shades, depth and luminosity. The lower opacity is not a shortcoming in quality — it is part of a pigment-pure paint medium in artist quality.
Is Aquarylic Color waterproof once dry?
Yes. Aquarylic Color is water-based and dries waterproof. So you can work in layers, build up glazes and carry on in a controlled way once everything is dry, without immediately lifting the layer underneath.
Can I combine Aquarylic Color with oil paint?
Yes, Aquarylic Color can be combined with oil paint. It works on dried oil paint as well as wet-in-wet. Many artists find this combination especially exciting, because Aquarylic Color brings properties that traditional oil paint alone does not offer. Just keep one thing in mind: these are two different systems, so use their respective properties deliberately.
Is the Starter Set suitable for beginners too?
Yes. The Starter Set is put together so that you get a good, easy-to-follow introduction to the medium. At the same time, Aquarylic Color is not just another standard product but a paint medium of its own, with special properties. That is why beginners, too, benefit from starting out with clear guidance and a well-chosen selection of shades.
What does the video course and PDF guide include – and why is it worthwhile for experienced painters too?
The video course and the PDF guide help you really understand the medium and use it well from day one. You get a structured introduction to the way of working, to color mixing and to the particular properties of Aquarylic Color. That is valuable especially for experienced artists, because Aquarylic Color does not simply behave like classic acrylic, oil or watercolor paint – it opens up possibilities of its own.
Where is Aquarylic Color made?
Aquarylic Color is made in our family business in Bludenz, Vorarlberg. The medium was developed out of practice: founder Angelika Domenig is an artist and teacher herself and spent many years seeing first-hand what artists wish for, ask about and struggle with in their daily work. Out of that experience, and in dialogue with many artists, came a paint medium that fills a real gap – made with great care and real knowledge of materials.
