SCHMINCKE Aqua Fix Watercolor Medium 60ml

Schmincke Aqua Fix Watercolor Medium is a medium formulated to enhance watercolor paintings by increasing their water resistance. When used in place of water, it prevents dried watercolor layers from re-dissolving during subsequent washes, allowing artists to build multiple transparent layers and preserve the integrity of underlying colours. This makes it particularly useful for glazing techniques and detailed work that requires precise control over each layer.

To use, simply mix Aqua Fix with your watercolour paints instead of water to achieve the desired consistency. Apply the paint as usual, and once the layer dries, it becomes water-resistant, allowing additional washes to be applied without disturbing the previous work. This medium enables artists to create more complex and controlled effects, while preventing unintended blending of colours.

Cleaning is straightforward, with brushes and palettes easily washed with soap and water after use. While Aqua Fix is non-toxic, standard art safety precautions are recommended during handling. Schmincke Aqua Fix provides a versatile solution for watercolorists seeking to expand their layering techniques and achieve greater precision in their work.
