Inart Magenta Acrylic Paint 75ml (140299029) 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 vibrant shade between red and purple is one of the three primary colors of the subtractive model used in printing, making it useful as a mixing base for intense purples and pinks that need more vibrancy than the conventional reds in the range. It is suitable for artists with some experience in color theory who work with precise mixtures from pure primaries.
