Acrylic gouache paint SMARTMAX LQX 59 ml — Scarlet (905)

SMARTMAX LQX acrylic gouache in a 59 ml tube, color Scarlet (905), is a water-based opaque paint that combines a matte, reworkable gouache appearance with the permanence and quick drying properties of acrylics. The scarlet hue provides a bright, saturated red suitable for illustration, fine art, design mock-ups and craft projects. This formulation adheres well to paper, board and primed surfaces, and allows layering, flat coverage and controlled blending.

Advantages

The SMARTMAX LQX acrylic gouache delivers a uniform, matte finish with high opacity and strong color intensity. It dries quickly to a water-resistant film while retaining the ability to be reworked shortly after application, allowing adjustments to edges and tonal transitions. The pigment concentration provides good coverage in thin or medium layers, and the 59 ml tube format is convenient for studio work or on-the-go projects.

How to use

Shake or knead the tube before use to ensure even pigment distribution. Apply with a synthetic or natural brush, spreading the paint in thin to medium layers. For flat, even coverage, use a single smooth stroke and allow the layer to dry before adding subsequent layers. To blend or soften edges, work while the paint is still tacky; after full drying the surface becomes water-resistant. Clean tools and brushes with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on absorbent papers, prime the surface or work in slightly thicker layers to avoid excessive absorption. Test color strength on a scrap before committing to large areas. Store the tube upright in a cool, dry place and seal tightly after use to preserve consistency.
