Acrylic paint tube Winsor & Newton Galeria Permanent Alizarin Crimson 60 ml

Winsor & Newton Galeria Permanent Alizarin Crimson in a 60 ml tube is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for artists seeking a deep, transparent red with a subtle blue undertone. This version of Alizarin Crimson offers high pigment concentration and permanence in a squeezable tube designed for controlled dispensing. The texture balances buttery flow for smooth coverage with sufficient body to retain brush marks, making it suitable for layering, glazing and detailed work on canvas, board and paper.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides strong tinting strength and a vivid, transparent red that mixes cleanly with other colours while maintaining its blue-leaning character. The formulation delivers good coverage when required yet remains workable for glazing and fine detail. The 60 ml tube allows precise amount control and convenient storage, and the paint is engineered for reliable lightfastness compared with traditional Alizarin hues.

Suitable for

• Fine detail and controlled brushwork
• Layering and glazing techniques
• Mixing to create deep purples and muted reds
• Painting on canvas, gessoed board and paper

Key specifications

• Volume: 60 ml
• Colour characteristic: transparent red with blue undertone
• Binder: acrylic polymer emulsion (water-based)
• Consistency: buttery yet body-retaining for brush marks
• Application: suitable for brush and palette knife techniques
• Drying: fast-drying typical of artist acrylics

How to use

Shake the tube lightly and dispense the required amount onto a palette or mixing surface. Apply directly with brush or palette knife; thin with water for washes or glazing, or use acrylic mediums to modify gloss, texture and drying time. For best adhesion, work on primed surfaces such as gessoed canvas or prepared board. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use while the paint is wet.

Usage recommendations

To preserve the transparent, blue-leaning quality of Permanent Alizarin Crimson, test small mixes before committing to large areas; combine with ultramarine or phthalo blue for deep violets, or layer over lighter colours for luminous glazing effects. Store the tube capped and upright in a cool, dry place.
