Gouache paint SMARTMAX Designers 14 ml Magenta Quinacridone 550

SMARTMAX Designers Gouache 14 ml in Magenta Quinacridone 550 is a professional-format opaque water-based paint formulated for illustration, design mockups and fine-art applications. The 14 ml tube contains a concentrated pigment load that delivers an intense magenta hue with high tinting strength and smooth consistency. Designed for use on paper, illustration board and similar surfaces, this gouache supports layering, clean edges and controlled detail work while remaining reworkable with water during drying stages.

Advantages

The Magenta Quinacridone 550 offers strong covering power and vivid color saturation in a compact, easy-to-store tube. Its formulation provides uniform opacity, good flow and predictable mixing behavior with other water-based colours. The small 14 ml format is convenient for studio sketching, on-the-go colour studies and controlled application in detailed illustrations. As a water-based gouache it is easy to thin, rewet and blend for gradients or for creating solid flat areas.

How to use

Shake or knead the tube gently before use to ensure pigment and binder are evenly distributed. Apply directly from the tube or dispense onto a palette and thin with clean water to achieve the desired consistency. For solid coverage apply in even strokes and allow to dry between layers for clean layering; for washes dilute the paint further and build colour with multiple glazes. Rewet dried areas with a damp brush for soft blending or corrections.

Usage recommendations

Store tubes capped and upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use appropriate paper weight (recommended 200 gsm or heavier for heavy layering) to prevent buckling. Test mixing behaviour with other pigments on a palette before applying to final work to achieve predictable colour results.
