Who It's For & Who Should Skip

This paint is ideal for art students, beginners learning color theory, hobbyists, and artists seeking a reliable, heavy-body acrylic for texture and bold strokes.

How to use

Ensure your canvas, wood, or paper surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. For best results, use a primer or gesso to create a smooth, receptive base for the acrylic paint. — Prepare Your Surface
Apply Liquitex BASICS Naphthol Crimson directly from the tube using a brush or palette knife. Explore techniques like impasto to retain brush strokes and texture, or thin with water or medium for washes. — Apply the Paint
This paint is intermixable with other Liquitex acrylics. Mix colors to create custom shades or layer different colors once previous layers are dry to build depth and complexity. — Mix and Layer Colors
Clean brushes, palette knives, and other tools immediately after use with soap and water while the paint is still wet to prevent permanent adhesion. — Clean Up
