An extra-fine paint with unique optical characteristics, FLASHE enhances the beauty of every shade. This is Absolute Colour.
Powerful colour
To ensure FLASHE colours are absolute and vibrant, pigment selection is carried out with meticulous care.
• Paints are developed with high-quality pigments that are specially
selected for fine arts: a high level of purity ensures radiant colours,
optimum blending and exceptional durability.
• Luminous pigments: specific pigment treatment techniques give unique
luminosity: colours seem to shimmer while maintaining their matt finish. • High pigment density: pigment strength is so strong that the colour
remains powerful, even when the paint is diluted.
Unique texture
• Creamy texture enables spontaneous painting.
• Supple, elastic texture which transforms into a strong film.
• Good coverage*, especially for opaque colours, and so can be used as
an undercoat for oil or acrylic for large formats and matt colours. *This makes it possible to cover a 5 x greater surface area than with a traditional acrylic paint
Can be used on more painting surfaces than an acrylic
FLASHE enables artists to work on all painting surfaces.
• Ultra-adherent formulation: can be applied on all non-oily painting
surfaces directly, without priming (wood, textile, leather, metal,
paper, polystyrene, etc.). Thanks to its adhesive qualities, FLASHE is guaranteed to be 100% stable over time (unlike traditional acrylic paint, which cannot be applied onto plastic or glass because it will peel
after drying).
• Uniform finish: the colour finish is identical on all painting surfaces.
Unique and solid finish
Thanks to its formulation, the velvet finish of FLASHE colours is unique and stable:
• Unique formulation: a vinyl resin emulsion combined with high-end
pigment. FLASHE colours maintain complete pigment intensity (unlike traditional acrylic resin, which can degrade the pigment). FLASHE can be used with a high level of dilution, without breaking the film. The inner radiance of the pigments comes to the surface.
• Solid and durable colour: colour withstands the test of time thanks to the high resin and pigment quality. For working outside, it’s recommended to use a varnish.
• A perfect matt finish means that the colour isn’t altered by light reflection. Total light absorption maintains the integrity of the colour, so the tones look identical when viewed from any angle. Ideal for transferring your artwork from analogue to digital, scanning, or for using with a projector for digital art.
All Flashe colours have a distinctive matt finish, with the exception of the iridescent colours, which have a luminous, satin finish as a result of their pearlescent pigmentation.
Opaque colours can be used with a single application.
Semi-opaque colours should be used with two applications.
Transparent colours will need between three and four applications (with an interval of 30 minutes between each one) to achieve an opaque coverage.
