Shake well and stir to ensure consistent color. Apply with a brush or palette knife for smooth coverage, or dilute with a compatible acrylic medium for washes and glazing. Allow layers to dry before adding details or additional layers to build depth. Clean brushes with soap and water after use.

You can use it on primed canvas, acrylic paper, wood panels, and some prepared substrates. For best adhesion and longevity, prime non-traditional surfaces and follow with appropriate acrylic gesso or primers.

It dries to the touch in a short period (often within 15–30 minutes under typical room conditions), with a full cure over 24 hours. Because it’s fast-drying, you can safely layer once the previous layer becomes tack-free.

Yes, the Deep Violet pigment is designed to be lightfast to help preserve color brightness over time. It’s a standard artist acrylic intended for safe use in painting; avoid ingestion and use in well-ventilated areas. Keep out of reach of children.

Titanium White is an opaque white used for highlights and lightening colors, while Deep Violet provides rich purple tones. Mixing Deep Violet with Titanium White will create lighter, pastel purples and tints. Titanium White also acts as a neutrally brightener rather than adding color itself.

Phthalo Blue is a strong blue pigment that, when mixed with red hues, can produce vibrant purples. Deep Violet already sits in the purple family and can be blended with a touch of Phthalo Blue or Red to adjust warmth or coolness. For bold, jewel-toned purples, mixing deeper blues with reds can be effective.

Great for shading and adding depth in portraits, creating dramatic abstract compositions, jewel-toned accents in still lifes, and glazing over underpaintings to enrich color depth. Its high opacity makes it suitable for blocking in bold shapes as well.

Tightly recap the bottle and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean brushes with soap and water immediately after use. Wipe spills promptly and avoid letting pigment dry on containers or tools.
