FAQs

What pigments are in Brilliant Alizarin?+
PR122 (quinacridone magenta) and PR170 (naphthol red), both rated ASTM I.
How do I mix plum and wine tones?+
Add a little Ultramarine Blue to Brilliant Alizarin for deep plum, wine and burgundy colours.
Does acrylic paint dry darker?+
Slightly. Wet acrylic looks lighter because the binder is milky; as it dries the film turns clear and the colour deepens a little. Mix a touch lighter than your target if you are matching colours.
How do I keep acrylic paint fresh in a jar?+
Scoop out only what you need with a clean palette knife, wipe the rim and close the lid tightly. This keeps air out and stops the paint skinning over.

Lightfast & Archival Quality

Artists can paint with confidence knowing Solid Solutions Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paints are engineered for excellent permanence and lightfastness. Lightfastness refers to a pigment’s resistance to fading or colour change when exposed to light — a critical factor for archival artwork. Durable acrylic films combined with stable artist pigments help ensure artworks retain their true colour and integrity for years under normal display conditions.
