Watercolour paint tube SMARTMAX 14 ml Cadmium Orange 089

SMARTMAX Watercolour professional series in a 14 ml tube, Cadmium Orange 089, delivers artist-grade pigment in a convenient squeeze-tube format. This Cadmium Orange provides warm, vivid orange tones that work well in transparent glazes as well as more opaque passages when used with less water. The tube design allows precise dispensing and controlled palette mixing, making it suitable for studio work, illustration, urban sketching and plein air painting.

Advantages

The watercolour offers consistent pigment concentration and good tinting strength, enabling predictable colour mixing and layering. Lightfastness characteristics make it appropriate for works intended to retain colour over time. The 14 ml tube is compact and portable while providing enough paint for multiple studies or larger applications. The formulation balances transparency and covering power to suit a range of techniques from washes to thicker strokes.

How to use

Squeeze a small amount of paint onto a palette or mixing tray and dilute with clean water to achieve the desired wash or consistency. For transparent glazes use more water and thin layers; for more opaque marks use less water or apply additional pigment. Mix colours on the palette to create intermediate shades and test values on scrap paper before applying to your final work. Clean brushes with water immediately after use to prevent paint drying in the bristles.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use on quality watercolour paper for best results and allow each wash to dry before applying subsequent layers to avoid unwanted lifting or muddying of colours.
