Acrylic paint Grafitas Akrila 75 ml — Crimson Red (1221), water-based artist color

Grafitas Akrila acrylic paint in a 75 ml tube, Crimson Red (1221), is a water-based artist color formulated for versatile use on canvas, paper, wood and mixed media. The fast-drying formulation provides good pigmentation and coverage suitable for layering, glazing and detail work. The convenient 75 ml size is practical for studio use and travel, and the water-based composition allows easy cleanup with water while maintaining vivid color after drying.

Advantages

This acrylic paint delivers consistent color intensity and reliable coverage across multiple surfaces. Fast drying times reduce waiting between layers, enabling quicker progress on projects. The 75 ml tube protects unused paint from drying out while offering enough volume for extended use. Being water-based, the paint is easy to thin with water for washes or to increase flow without solvents, and brushes and tools can be cleaned with water immediately after use.

Suitable for

• Painting on canvas and stretched panels
• Illustration and mixed media on paper
• Decorative work on wood and prepared surfaces
• Layering, glazing and fine detail painting
• Studio practice and portable plein air painting

Key specifications

• Color: Crimson Red (1221)
• Volume: 75 ml tube
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Drying: Fast-drying finish suitable for layering
• Application surfaces: Canvas, paper, wood, mixed media

How to use

Apply straight from the tube for full, opaque coverage or dilute with clean water to create washes and glazes. For textured surfaces, use gesso-primed canvas or properly prepared wood to ensure adhesion. Build up color in thin layers for glazing effects and allow each layer to dry before applying the next to avoid lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use; fully cured paint is water-resistant.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use on properly primed or prepared surfaces for best adhesion and longevity. For archival results, consider using compatible varnishes once the paint is fully cured.
