FAQs

What pigments are in Skin Tone Light?+
PW6 (titanium white), PO36 (pyrrole orange) and PR101 (red oxide), rated ASTM I.
Is Skin Tone Light good for portraits?+
Yes. It is made for portraiture and figurative work, and mixes easily into lighter and deeper skin tones.
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

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