Createx Illustration Colors™
Createx Illustration Colors™ are a refined, water-based airbrush colors
optimized for use with Dru Blair’s Color Buffer System. Illustration Colors offer
true fine-line, detailed performance while allowing for re-wettable techniques
and soft erasing. As the name implies, Illustration Colors are designed with
the illustrator and fine artist in mind without catering to the demand for high
coverage, base colors.
Illustration Colors are lightfast. We use the same exterior-grade pigments
we use to make our Wicked Colors and Auto Air Colors. The difference is in
the resin. Unlike Wicked Colors and Auto Air Colors which air dry to a cured,
non-soluble coating, Illustration Colors are re-wettable with an amine such as
Windex™. This is one of the key characteristics behind the creation of our
Illustration Colors. Another key characteristic this resin offers is soft erasing.
Unlike our Wicked Colors which erase hard, Illustration Colors are very easy
to erase within the first 48 hours after application. After 48 hours, Illustration
Colors harden making erasing more difficult and similar to how our Wicked
Colors erase.
No reduction is necessary. Illustration Colors atomize and spray excellent
through small airbrush tip sizes down to 0.15mm at low psi settings direct from
the bottle. Unlike Wicked Colors, Wicked Detail Colors and Auto Air Colors
which are intended for application with a spray gun direct from the bottle,
Illustration Colors are intended solely for application with an airbrush and
are not designed to cover as a base color. Reducer and Transparent Base is
offered in our Illustration Colors line for artists wishing to further make colors
thinner or more transparent
based upon subjective
preferences; however, most
artists will find performance
is excellent straight out of the
bottle.
Illustration Colors may be
top-coated with a urethane
clear. Createx Illustration
Colors work excellent as custom,
automotive candy colors
with an airbrush; however, they
are not designed for use with
a spray gun as their extreme
low viscosity will not allow for
a proper spray pattern.
