Product Information
Full details
The Icon Poster Paint in Ultramarine Blue is an essential resource for students, art teachers, and professional artists who require a reliable, high-quality tempera medium for large-scale projects. Featuring a rich, creamy consistency and an intense, true hue, this paint offers excellent coverage that resists cracking and flaking over time. While it is perfect for vibrant color application, users should note that the large 1-litre container is primarily designed for high-volume use rather than small, detail-oriented miniature painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, pour the desired amount of paint into a palette or container to avoid contaminating the main 1-litre supply. This paint is compatible with paper, cardboard, and most porous surfaces. For long-term storage, ensure the lid is snapped tightly shut after every use to prevent the water-based formula from evaporating and thickening. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigment. Should the paint thicken over time, add a few drops of water and stir thoroughly until the original consistency returns.
