FAQs

What pigment is Dioxazine Purple?+
It is made with PV23, dioxazine violet, rated ASTM I for lightfastness.
How do I mix a deep dark with Dioxazine Purple?+
Mix it with Phthalocyanine Green for a rich, deep near-black that can lean cool or warm.
Can I thin heavy body acrylic?+
Yes. A little water loosens it for brushwork. For glazes and fluid layers, use Flow Medium, which thins the paint while keeping a strong, flexible film.
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 depth, vibrancy, and integrity for years under normal display conditions.

Clean up & storage

Clean up
Wash brushes and palette knives with soap and water while the paint is still wet.
