Acrylic Gouache paint SMARTMAX LQX 59 ml — Hooker's Green H (permanent) 224

SMARTMAX LQX Acrylic Gouache in 59 ml tube, Hooker's Green H (permanent) 224 is an acrylic-based gouache that provides opaque, matte coverage and fast drying to a permanent finish. The formulation allows water-soluble handling while wet and becomes water-resistant once dry, making it suitable for illustration, mixed media, design work and fine art. The mid-to-deep green hue is designed for layering, flat washes and precise touch-ups on paper, board or properly primed surfaces.

Advantages

This acrylic gouache combines the flat, non-reflective look of traditional gouache with the permanence and fast drying of acrylic binders. It offers high covering power and consistent pigmentation for even color application and clean edges. The 59 ml tube provides a portable size for studio work and on-the-go projects while allowing multiple thin layers or single opaque strokes. Once dry, the surface resists reactivation, ensuring stability for subsequent layers and mixed-media applications.

Suitable for

• Illustration and graphic design work
• Mixed media and collage where matte, opaque color is required
• Detailed layering, flat washes and opaque touch-ups
• Painting on paper, illustration board or primed canvas and panels

How to use

Shake or knead the tube before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly from the tube with a brush for opaque strokes or dilute with water for flat washes and semi-transparent layers. Allow each layer to dry thoroughly before applying subsequent layers to avoid unwanted blending; drying time will vary with layer thickness and ambient conditions. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use while paint is still wet.

Usage recommendations

For best results on paper, prime highly absorbent sheets lightly or use heavyweight illustration board to prevent buckling. When combining with other media, test adhesion and finish on a scrap piece first. Store capped in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing to preserve consistency.
