Ironlak FAQs

What is Ironlak?

The Ironlak brand started in Sydney in 2002 out of the desire for affordable art supplies for graffiti artists. Ironlak has since expanded across the globe and offers a wide range of mediums and materials for artists to use.

What is an aquarelle brush?

Aquarelle brushes from Ironlak are dual-tipped markers that use water-based ink. Use them on wet paper to create washed and watercolour-like effects, or on dry paper as a regular marker.

How to use watercolour pencils

While they can be used as regular colour pencils, watercolour pencils should be combined with water to unleash their true potential. Use them on a wet surface, dip the tip into water before using or use dry and then paint over the lines with water to achieve all sorts of different watercolour effects.
