This Ultramarine works well on canvas, acrylic paper, illustration board, and prepared wooden panels. Techniques include smooth under-paintings, glazing for depth, light atmospheric washes, and tonal contrasts in skies and seas. For best results, use thin layers and allow each layer to dry before applying the next.

To get streak-free coverage, apply in thin, even layers rather than a single thick coat. Use a soft-bristle brush or a synthetic flat brush, keep a slightly damp palette, and work with light, consistent strokes. Allow drying between passes and consider a mid-tone glaze to unify color transitions.

You can mix System 3 Ultramarine with acrylic mediums such as flow improvers for smoother, more fluid applications or glazing mediums for transparent layers. Start with small amounts to preserve color intensity, then adjust with additional medium as needed for desired transparency or texture.

Store upright with the cap sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid freezing temperatures. Clean the nozzle after use to prevent drying at the opening, and recap tightly to maintain pigment integrity for future sessions.
