Description of Grumbacher Academy Paint Dioxazine Purple

One of the most commonly used purples in oil painting, Dioxazine is a rich, complex color that is very dark in masstone – so much so that it is sometimes used as a black. Creates vibrant tints when mixed with white. As it is very cool on the temperature spectrum with an extremely high tinting strength that can quickly overpower other colors in mixes, it'’s advisable to use sparingly. Color is made with finely ground pigment and has an ASTM lightfast rating of 1-Excellent; Made in USA. Smooth, rich paint is highly pigmented and has superior tinting strength at a single student price. The non-metallic colors in the Academy Oil student line correlate to the Pre-tested professional line, allowing students to graduate to a professional grade paint with ease.

Not Worth the Hype: Dull and Drying

In my experience with Arts and Crafts, this particular shade of purple fell short. The color turned out lackluster and the paint dried way too fast, making it difficult to blend. While the price may be tempting, I expected better quality and performance. I won't be repurchasing this paint in the future..

Pros
  • Rich and vibrant color
Cons
  • Requires multiple layers for opaque coverage

Vibrant Hue That Captivates the Eye

The rich and bold color of this paint truly stands out on any canvas .Through trial and error, I found that a little goes a long way allowing me to create stunning artwork with just a few brushstrokes. The versatility of this shade is unmatched, making it a must-have for any artist. The only downside is that it dries slightly lighter than it appears when wet..

Pros
  • Intense and vibrant color, suitable for creating bold and eye-catching artworks.
Cons
  • Requires careful application as it tends to overpower other colors, potentially limiting its versatility in certain artistic compositions.

HIGH QUALITY ITEMS, PAINTINGS AND ITEMS

All Grumbacher Academy Oil Paints offer excellent value for money. Enriched with pigments for an even "oily" feel across the entire color palette. Good coverage. It compares very well to paints that cost three times as much. I have several paintings that were made 20 years ago. I can't detect any color fading.

Pros
  • Crafts, Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Large and Bulky
