Ensure your canvas, paper, or wood is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For porous surfaces like canvas or raw wood, consider applying a primer or gesso first for better adhesion and smoother application. — Prepare Your Surface 2. Squeeze the desired amount of Liquitex Basics Dioxazine Purple paint onto your palette. Use a brush, palette knife, or sponge to apply the paint to your surface. Build up layers as needed, allowing each to dry. — Apply the Paint 3. Mix Dioxazine Purple with other Liquitex Basics colors or mediums to create new shades and textures. Apply subsequent layers once the previous coat is dry to the touch, typically within minutes. — Mix and Layer Colors 4. Clean your brushes, palette knives, and other tools immediately after use with soap and water. Dried acrylic paint can be difficult to remove. Allow your artwork to dry completely before varnishing or framing. — Clean Up ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Key Pigment | Dioxazine Purple | | Lightfastness | Artist-quality pigments | | Allergens | None specified | | Free From | Non-toxic (ASTM D4236) | | Directions | Apply with brush, palette knife, or other tools to desired surface.
