Acrylic paint Winsor & Newton Galeria 120 ml, Permanent Green Medium (484)

Winsor & Newton Galeria acrylic paint in 120 ml tube, colour Permanent Green Medium (484), is a water-based artist acrylic formulated for general painting, studies and mixed-media work. The formulation delivers good pigmentation and consistent colour strength with quick drying times, making it suitable for building layers and for working in both opaque and transparent techniques. The paint adheres well to common surfaces such as canvas, paper and board and is compatible with a wide range of acrylic mediums and varnishes for modifying texture, flow and finish.

Advantages

This acrylic offers reliable tinting strength and colour consistency, enabling predictable mixing and glazing. Fast drying reduces waiting time between layers while still allowing short open time for blending. The 120 ml tube format provides a balance between economy and portability for studio work or on-location painting. Being water-based it cleans up easily with water when wet and is compatible with standard acrylic additives and varnishes for extended control over sheen and permanence.

How to use

Use straight from the tube or dilute with water or an acrylic medium to alter flow and transparency. Apply with brushes, palette knives or texture tools depending on desired effects. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers if opaque coverage or glazing is required. Clean tools with water while the paint is wet and use appropriate varnish only after the paint film is fully cured.

Usage recommendations

For predictable colour mixing and glazing, test small mixtures before committing to large areas. To retain vibrancy, avoid excessive thinning with water; use dedicated acrylic mediums to preserve film strength and adhesion. Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place and reseal the cap to prevent skinning.
