Tri-Art Limited Edition - Black Cherry Garnet
Technical Information
Description
*Pre-order, product ships September 14th*
A deep oxblood red with a cool, garnet edge. Straight from the tube it sits close to black-red, dense and matte-looking in the mass; drawn thin or brushed over a light ground it clears to a warm brick crimson, and in tints it settles into muted dusty rose rather than pink. This is the red for shadow and structure, the one that darkens a scene without going grey. It glazes beautifully over warm earths and holds every knife ridge and brush mark at full High Viscosity body.
Part of the Tri-Art Limited Edition series. Made in Canada, in 60mL (2.02 fl oz) tubes, with the same buttery, peak-holding High Viscosity body and heavy pigment load as the core line. Once these are gone, they're gone.
About Acrylic Paint
This explains what acrylic paint is, and why our acrylic films are dependable over time.
What acrylic paint actually is
Acrylic paint is pigment dispersed in an acrylic polymer emulsion. As water evaporates, the acrylic particles coalesce into a continuous, flexible film that locks pigment in place and adheres to the surface.
Our binder and manufacturing approach
Tri-Art paints are 100% acrylic polymer emulsion products. We manufacture using a custom high-solids acrylic resin, and this binder standard applies across our range, including professional and student quality.
Using water confidently
Because our acrylic films are built on a high-solids acrylic resin system, artists can be more comfortable using water as a working medium without feeling like they are automatically compromising film integrity. For very thin applications, build in controlled layers and let each layer dry before continuing.
Practical tip: if you are creating extremely thin washes for extended areas, consider alternating thin layers with normal-strength layers to maintain a robust film build.
