FAQs

What pigments are in Island Blue?+
PW6 (titanium white), PB15:3 (phthalocyanine blue) and PY74 (yellow), rated ASTM I.
How do I mix fresh greens with Island Blue?+
Add Yellow Light Hansa a little at a time for fresh, light greens.
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.

Durable acrylic films combined with stable artist pigments help ensure artworks retain their true colour balance and integrity for years under normal display conditions.
