How permanent and lightfast is this shade for archival work?

The Amsterdam formula uses stable pigments that resist fading, helping works retain their original hue for decades under normal display conditions. This product is intended for artists concerned about longevity but always test under your conditions and light exposure.

• High lightfastness pigments chosen for minimal fading over time
• Professional-grade pigmentation for strong tinting strength
• Recommended for pieces intended for long-term display

What surfaces and techniques does this acrylic suit?

Thanks to a 100% acrylic binder, the paint adheres well across common art surfaces and forms a durable film. It’s versatile for brushwork, glazing, impasto (with mediums), and wall applications when used correctly.

• Use on primed canvas, gessoed panels, paper, wood and prepared walls
• Mixable with water, acrylic mediums, and compatible additives
• Thin films dry quickly; buildable with layers or mediums for texture

How do I thin, mix, and preserve colour consistency?

The paint can be thinned cleanly with water for washes or retarded with acrylic mediums to extend open time; avoid solvents. For consistent colour across batches, mix thoroughly and store jars tightly closed away from direct heat or sunlight.

• Thin with water for washes; use glazing mediums for transparency
• Combine with acrylic gels/pastes for heavier texture without losing adhesion
• Store upright in a cool, shaded place and reseal after use to preserve quality

Is this product suitable for murals and exterior use?

The paint’s alkali resistance and durable film make it a good candidate for interior wall paintings and prepared masonry; for exterior murals, pair with appropriate primers and protective varnishes. Always perform adhesion and weathering tests for outdoor projects.

• Alkali-resistant formulation suitable for many wall substrates
• Use with masonry primers and exterior-grade varnishes for outdoor durability
• Recommended to test adhesion and colour retention on site first
