Faber-Castell Acrylic Color, 120 ml Tube, Bright Shade, Quick Dry, Fade Resistant, Consistent Flow, Ideal for Dynamic Mid-tones & Mixes – Dark Cadmium Orange

It performs well on primed canvas, paper, wood, and other common acrylic-friendly surfaces. For best results, prepare a suitable ground or gesso layer and ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting.

Edge: saturated mid-tone that helps create energetic transitions between warm lights and reds. Pigment: strong chroma enhances skin tones, sunsets, and autumn foliage. Drying: predictable set supports scumbling without dragging semi-dry underlayers. Handling: consistent flow maintains brush control across broad areas and fine details. Capacity: 120 ml for extended studies, series work, and classroom demonstrations.

This dark cadmium orange works well when mixed with blues or complementary hues to create earthy neutrals. Start with a small amount of blue or a cool neutral and gradually add the orange to fine-tune warmth and value in your mid-tones.

The paint is designed for a predictable set, which supports layering and scumbling without dragging underlying semi-dry layers. For smooth gradients, apply thin, even coats and allow partial drying between passes; for scumbling, use a dry brush with minimal paint to lift texture over a dry or tacky underlayer.

Each tube contains 120 ml of paint, suitable for extended study, a series of works, and classroom demonstrations where color consistency and coverage matter.

Seal the cap firmly after use and store the tube upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean brushes with water immediately after painting to prevent stiff bristles; wipe the nozzle before resealing to avoid blockages.

As a water-based acrylic color, it is designed for general art use. Always follow standard safety guidelines: avoid ingestion, keep out of eyes, and use in a well-ventilated area. Look for any safety certifications on the product label and follow age-appropriate use guidance.

Ideal for developing mid-tones in portraits and landscapes, creating dramatic color mixes, and adding depth to autumn foliage or sunset scenes. It also works well for textured knife work and dynamic, expressive applications.

For broad areas, use flat brushes or palette knives to apply even layers. For details, switch to fine-tipped brushes. Allow layers to dry between passes to maintain crisp edges, and experiment with glazing or scumbling to explore depth and texture.
