Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Paint 60ml Naphthol Red Light — Semi-transparent, Lightfast

Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Naphthol Red Light is a high‑performance, light warm red acrylic paint that keeps its vivid brilliance from wet to dry in a 60ml tube.

Built for professional artists and serious hobbyists, this formulation (formerly Artists' Acrylics) combines advanced resin technology and expert pigment selection to deliver exceptionally bright, stable colour. Naphthol Red Light (PR112) is a modern synthetic pigment offering warm red tones with semi‑transparent coverage and excellent working properties for glazing, layering, and mixing.

How does Naphthol Red Light behave on canvas and mixed media?

This pigment lays down a warm, clear red that remains visually consistent as it dries, helping you predict final colour during painting sessions. Its semi‑transparent nature makes it ideal for glazes and subtle colour shifts without overpowering underlayers.

• Semi‑transparent coverage for glazing and layered effects
• Stable drying with minimal loss of brilliance
• Good adhesion to primed canvas, board, and many mixed media grounds

What techniques is this 60ml tube best suited for?

The paint performs well across a wide range of acrylic techniques, from thin washes and translucent glazes to thicker impasto when combined with mediums. It mixes cleanly with other professional acrylics to broaden your palette without muddying mixed colours.

• Glazing and transparent layering thanks to PR112’s clarity
• Colour mixing to create warm oranges, pinks, and muted reds
