Acrylic liquid

Choose based on finish, permanence, and how you plan to apply the colour. FW LIQUID ACRYLIC INK is acrylic-based and pigmented, with water resistance on most surfaces and a lightfastness rating of 3 to 4 stars, making it suitable for works intended for permanent display. All colours are fully intermixable and can be substantially diluted to achieve subtle tones similar to watercolour. Once dry, washes form a water-resistant film, and you can layer additional colour over. It also performs well with airbrushes and technical pens, expanding technique options.

Lightfastness shows how well a pigment resists fading when exposed to light. FW LIQUID ACRYLIC INK has a permanence rating of 3 to 4 stars, indicating strong resistance across its intermixable colours and suitability for works viewed over time. Diluting colours creates softer, watercolor-like washes without losing underlying pigment, and you can still build up layers on top because the dried film remains water-resistant.

Yes, these inks work well through airbrushes and technical pens, enabling both broad washes and precise lines. The acrylic base dries to a water-resistant film on most surfaces, so you can apply multiple passes or colours without the previous layer re-mixing, allowing complex, layered effects. Fully intermixable colours expand blending possibilities for bold graphics or delicate tonal transitions, giving you versatility across different applications.

This ink line is ideal for artists planning works intended for permanent display due to its lightfast, durable pigment. At the same time, the ability to dilute colours to watercolor-like tones and to layer over dries offers experimentation with washes, glazing, and mixed-media techniques. With its compatibility with airbrushes and pens, it supports both expressive, loose applications and precise line work.

Intermixable colours means you can blend different FW Liquid Acrylic inks to create custom hues, shades, or graduated transitions. Because each colour is a pigmented acrylic, blending remains consistent across tones, and you can range from transparent glazes to dense, opaque layers by adjusting dilution and layering. This flexibility makes it suitable for bold graphics as well as nuanced tonal studies.

These inks are designed to perform on most surfaces, from paper to primed boards and suitable synthetics. When you apply a wash and let it dry, you get a water-resistant film; you can apply successive layers over the dry film to deepen colour or shift hue, always keeping in mind the dried layer will resist water rather than dissolving.
