- Résumé
- Water-resoluble acrylic paints are a recent development in the world of acrylic mediums. Several manufacturers created these water-resoluble formulas to increase options for artists who wished to use wet-in-wet and watercolour techniques while using acrylic paints. Research by Sims, Cross, and Smithen explored the colour stability and reversibility of Lascaux’s Aquacryl™, one of these new generation of paints. This research expanded upon previous work by exploring three clear mediums from two manufacturers to see if they displayed good ageing characteristics and remained water soluble over time. To determine ageing characteristics, samples of various brands of water-resoluble acrylic paints were measured for their colour and gloss, before and after light-based artificial ageing. Samples were also analysed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy before ageing to identify components in their formulations. Control and aged samples were tested for water solubility through testing with swabs. The creation of the samples also provided the opportunity to make qualitative judgements about the handling properties of the paints. Information collected on the stability of the paints, their formulation, their handling properties, and their solubility helped establish that these mediums age well, remain reversible, and are appropriate for retouching.
