Inart Natural Shadow Earth Acrylic Paint 75ml (140299038) 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 tones. This cool, greyish-brown is one of the base colors of the traditional earthy palette, differing from siennas by being less reddish and more neutral, useful for subtle shadows and mixtures that require a less warm brown. It is suitable for fine art students and amateur artists working on compositions that benefit from a more neutral earthy tone than the sienna shades in the same range.
