Acrylic paint tube Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) 60 ml

Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) 60 ml is a transparent, brilliant green acrylic paint with a noticeable blue undertone. Introduced as a modern synthetic pigment in the 1930s, this paint is formulated for professional artists and provides strong tinting strength, smooth consistency and quick drying suitable for layering and mixed-media work on canvas, board and other primed surfaces.

Advantages

This professional acrylic uses advanced resin technology to minimise colour shift as the paint dries, preserving the original hue and brilliance. The formulation delivers intense, deep colour with high tinting strength and a smooth handling consistency. It is water-based and compatible with Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic mediums for extended versatility in blending, glazing and texture effects.

Suitable for

• Fine art painting on canvas and primed board
• Illustration and mixed-media techniques
• Layering, glazing and colour mixing
• Artists seeking a vivid transparent green with blue undertone

When it may not be suitable

This transparent Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) is highly staining and has strong tinting strength, which may make it less suitable when delicate lifting or extensive reworking of layers is required. It is not formulated for unprimed surfaces or uses that require slow-drying, removable paint films.

How to use

Use straight from the tube or dilute with water or Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic mediums to adjust flow, transparency and drying time.

Allow layers to dry between applications to build glazes and maintain colour clarity.

What to consider before purchase

• Transparency and tinting strength: suitable for glazing but will strongly affect mixes
• Drying time: fast-drying acrylic—plan layering accordingly
• Compatibility: works with Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic mediums

Usage recommendations

For colour-rich glazes and intense mixes, use Phthalo Green (Blue Shade) sparingly when mixing with lighter colours due to its high tinting strength. Combine with Professional Acrylic mediums to modify flow and drying time without altering the pigment’s brilliance.
