Liquitex - Basics - 118ml Alizarin Crimson Permanent Hue

A semi-opaque vivid red with a blue undertone. This is a mixed pigment hue - a recreation of true alizarin crimson pigment, which doesn’t offer the required lightfastness for artists. Alizarin crimson was first used as a dye obtained from the roots of the madder plant by the ancient Egyptians. \n \nOverview \nBasics is for all - from those new to painting, to experienced artists. Ideal if you're a beginner. If you're on a budget. Perfect for underpainting or sketching if you're a serious artist. And for color scoping and exploration if you're a creative professional. This medium viscosity paint is made with lightfast, artist-quality pigments in an expanded choice of 72 colors. \n \nCharacter \n
