Inart Ultramarine Blue Acrylic Paint 75ml (140299023) 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 blue is one of the most versatile colors for night skies, cool shadows, and purple blends, and has been a classic reference in painting since the natural pigments that gave rise to it historically. It is suitable for fine arts students and amateur artists who want to experiment with this intense blue in the more compact format of the range before opting for the 500ml bottle.
