Acrylic paint Artequipment Amsterdam 17095672 — Bordeaux, 120 ml, liquid/gel

Artequipment Amsterdam acrylic paint in Bordeaux, 120 ml, is a water-based acrylic medium with a liquid/gel consistency designed for fine art, mixed media and craft projects. The formula provides concentrated pigment in a compact tube and is suitable for application on canvas, paper and primed surfaces. The paint is part of a wide Amsterdam range noted for lightfast colours and a durable acrylic binding that allows layering, blending and a variety of surface effects.

Advantages

This acrylic paint delivers a high level of lightfastness and forms an exceptionally durable paint film due to its 100% acrylic resin binder. Its liquid/gel consistency ensures easy application and smooth spreading while remaining alkali-resistant, making it applicable to a range of prepared substrates. The formulation is practically odourless, thins readily with water and dries quickly in thin layers, enabling efficient working and rapid overpainting.

Suitable for

• Fine art painting on canvas and primed boards
• Mixed media projects and collage work
• Crafts and decorative painting on paper and primed surfaces
• Layering and glazing techniques that require concentrated pigment

How to use

Shake or knead the tube before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly with a brush, palette knife or other tools to canvas, primed board or paper. Thin with water to achieve glazes and washes or use the paint at full consistency for richer impasto and colour saturation. Allow thin layers to dry before applying additional layers; thin films typically dry within about thirty minutes under normal studio conditions. For more controlled dispensing, use a dosing nozzle or squeeze the tube gently to release the required amount.

Usage recommendations

For best results on canvas, prime the surface properly and test blending and thinning ratios on a scrap piece to achieve desired transparency. Combine with other Amsterdam colours and compatible acrylic mediums to expand texture and finish options. Clean tools with water while paint is wet and follow standard storage practices to keep the tube sealed and protected from extreme temperatures.
