Inart Crimson Acrylic Paint 75ml (140299027) has a buttery consistency that provides good coverage in one or two coats on canvas, paper, cardboard, or wood. It dries quickly and has a satin finish after drying. It can be diluted with water for more transparent, watercolor-like effects, or applied directly for greater opacity and color definition. It can also be mixed with other colors in the Inart range to obtain intermediate shades. This deep, slightly purplish red tone is useful for shades of brighter reds, wine tones, or mixtures that require a cooler red than the vermilion of the range. It is suitable for fine art students and amateur artists working on still lifes, portraits, or compositions that benefit from a darker, more sophisticated red than the pure tones of the palette.
