Schminckes’ Aero Color professional is a range of brilliant,chromatic acrylic inks, originally manufactured for airbrushing. The range, we currently stock comprises of 36 x 28ml colours and 12 x 28ml special opaque colours. Aero color is the most fluid of all Schminckes’ acrylic products and can be further thinned with DISTILLED water or with fluid retarder, and airbrush medium for further thinning and blending. If distilled water is used, it should not exceed more than 20% of the original paint amount. By using small quantities of SUPRA White it is possible to create opaque colours with out changing the character of the original tint. All colours are lightfast and water resistant when dry. Aero Color, is permanent on most non oily surfaces, and can be applied with Brushes, Dip pens and technical drafting pens. Equipment should be cleaned before the ink has dried as it will not be easily removed once set. All colours are highly vibrant and most are single pigments, which aids in purity of colour mixes. Of note are the three primary (Basis) colours, from which most colours can be mixed. This would be of great use for anyone working in Graphics or learning about colour theory and mixing. The 12 opaque colours add covering power and intensity to work. All colours are suitable for fluid applications and can be combined with other acrylic paints to create effects and washes and glazes.
“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”

“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”

“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”
– Chantelle
“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
