Inart Paynes Gray Acrylic Paint 75ml (140299035) 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 dark gray with a bluish undertone is an alternative to pure black for darkening other colors without making them dull or lifeless, and is a classic choice in landscape painting for shadows and stormy skies. It is suitable for artists who already master color mixing and want a more subtle and sophisticated darkener than the pure black from the same range.
