Acrylic paint tube Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Dioxazine Purple 60 ml

Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Dioxazine Purple in a 60 ml tube is a professional-grade acrylic paint formulated for artists seeking intense, transparent purple with consistent drying behaviour. Dioxazine Purple is a vivid mid-shade purple pigment that can appear very deep and near-black when used undiluted. The paint uses modern resin technology to reduce colour shift as it dries and delivers concentrated, high-intensity pigment suitable for canvas, board and mixed-media surfaces. The squeezable tube dispenser provides controlled application for studio work, studies and portable painting sessions.

Advantages

This acrylic offers high pigment concentration and strong tinting strength, producing rich, luminous colour with excellent transparency where required. The improved resin formulation minimises colour shift during drying and ensures lasting colour stability. The 60 ml tube format is convenient for regular studio use or fieldwork and the smooth consistency adapts well to brushwork, glazing and layering techniques. Compatibility with professional acrylic mediums extends versatility for texture, gloss control and slow or fast drying effects.

Suitable for

• Fine art painting on primed canvas and panels

How to use

Shake or knead the tube gently before use to ensure even pigment distribution. Apply directly from the tube with brushes, palette knives or other tools; thin with water for washes or use Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Mediums to extend, slow drying or modify surface finish. For glazing, dilute the paint with an appropriate glazing medium and apply thin translucent layers, allowing each layer to dry. Clean brushes and tools promptly with water while the paint is wet; once fully cured the film is water-resistant.

Usage recommendations

Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place and ensure lids are closed tightly to prevent skinning. Test colour interactions and translucency on a scrap of the intended support before committing to final layers. To preserve the vibrancy of Dioxazine Purple, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and consider using archival varnish after full curing for additional protection.
