Gouache paint tube SMARTMAX Designers Gouache 14 ml — Aliz Crimson 004

SMARTMAX Designers Gouache 14 ml in Aliz Crimson (shade 004) is a water-based opaque paint formulated for illustration, design and fine-art applications. The 14 ml tube delivers a concentrated pigment suitable for detailed strokes, flat color areas and controlled layering on paper, board and mixed-media supports. The paint mixes readily with water and other SMARTMAX gouache shades to achieve intermediate hues and tonal variations while maintaining strong coverage and matte finish.

Advantages

The gouache offers high-opacity pigment distribution for even, non-reflective coverage and crisp edges. Its creamy consistency enables smooth application with brushes or pens for precise lines and fills. The 14 ml format provides a compact, portable supply that is practical for studio use, field sketching and classroom settings. The formulation is water-soluble for easy thinning and cleanup yet reduces streaking when applied in layers.

How to use

Shake or knead the tube before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Dispense a small amount onto a palette and dilute with water to achieve the desired consistency; use more pigment for opaque coverage and less for washes. Apply with synthetic or natural brushes, using thinner washes for underlayers and fuller application for solid color areas. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers to avoid lifting. Clean brushes and palettes with water after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For archival results on display pieces, use high-quality, acid-free paper or board and consider applying a compatible fixative if recommended by the paper manufacturer.
