Acrylic paint tube Winsor & Newton Galeria Permanent Alizarin Crimson 120 ml

Winsor & Newton Galeria Permanent Alizarin Crimson 120 ml is an acrylic paint in a tube formulated to provide a deep, permanent crimson suitable for fine art and mixed-media projects. The paint delivers consistent pigmentation and a medium-viscosity acrylic body that supports layering, glazing and opaque coverage on canvas, paper and other primed surfaces. Designed for artists who need reliable mixing behaviour and predictable drying characteristics, this colour integrates into palettes for both transparent and semi-opaque techniques.

Advantages

This acrylic offers good tinting strength and stability within its pigment class, enabling effective colour mixing and controlled glazing. The 120 ml tube provides a practical volume for regular studio use while maintaining ease of dispensing and storage. Formulation balances flow and body to allow smooth brushwork, retaining brush marks when desired and enabling even coverage when applied more opaquely.

Suitable for

• Layering and glazing on canvas and primed boards
• Detail work and mixing to create deep reds and mauves
• Mixed-media applications combined with gesso, mediums and varnishes
• Opaque coverage for illustrations and fine art pieces

How to use

Shake or stir the tube before use to ensure uniform consistency. Apply directly from the tube with brushes or palette knives; use water or acrylic mediums to thin for glazing and translucent effects. For opaque coverage apply thicker layers and allow each layer to dry before overpainting. Clean brushes and tools with water while paint is wet; once fully dry the paint is water-resistant.

Usage recommendations

For extended working time and more pronounced glazing, mix with an acrylic glazing medium. To protect finished work, apply a suitable acrylic varnish after the paint has fully cured. Store the tube capped and in a cool, dry place to maintain consistency.
