Acrylic paint Grafitas 1214 Yellow Orange 75 ml — professional artist acrylic, water-based, lightfast

Grafitas 1214 Yellow Orange is a professional 75 ml water-based acrylic paint formulated for artists working on canvas, paper and mixed-media surfaces. This Yellow Orange hue provides vibrant, warm color with good coverage and predictable handling. The paint dries quickly to a stable, non-tacky film, enabling successive layers, glazes and fine-detail work without long waiting times. It mixes readily with other acrylics and can be thinned with water or compatible acrylic media to adjust translucency and flow.

Advantages

The formula offers reliable color strength and good lightfastness for lasting hues. Fast drying allows efficient layering and glazing techniques while maintaining edge control for details. Water-based composition makes cleanup straightforward with soap and water when wet, and the paint is compatible with a wide range of acrylic mediums to extend working time, alter sheen or increase transparency. The 75 ml tube format is convenient for studio use and fieldwork, giving a balance of capacity and portability.

Suitable for

• Oil-imitative and opaque color layers on stretched canvas and boards

How to use

Shake or knead the tube before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly from the tube with brushes, palette knives or other tools. For transparent effects, dilute the paint with water or an acrylic glazing medium; for thicker impasto textures use an acrylic gel or heavy body medium. Allow adequate drying time between layers; drying speed depends on film thickness and ambient humidity. Clean brushes and tools with water while the paint is still wet; once cured the film is water‑resistant and requires mechanical or solvent action for removal.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube capped and upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For archival results use properly primed supports and allow final layers to cure fully before varnishing. Test mixes and glazing ratios on a scrap surface to achieve desired transparency and color balance.
