LUKASCRYL pastos
Finest artists acrylic colour

As one of the first manufacturers of artists colours LUKAS Künstlerfarben offered in 1964 an acrylic colour to satisfy the demand of the artists for a modern, quick drying artist colour: LUKASCRYL pastos, which is watermixable and paintable. After the quick drying time it is waterresistant. LUKASCRYL pastos is versatile in application from the thinnest glaze to palette knife technics. It got a thick and buttery consistance with a high content of around 70 %.


Composition:


LUKASCRYL pastos contains the highest possible share of pigments, pure and unalterated. Even the most valuable pigments, like cadmium and cobalt, real earth from the Toscana are purely applied. A numerous number of shades allow brilliant glazes. Due to the quick drying time a multi-layer-glazing is possible, which gives the impression of ancient technics.
