Viridian (Hue) is part of Tri-Art High Viscosity Professional Acrylic Paint, a heavy body acrylic with a thick, buttery consistency that holds brushstrokes and palette-knife texture. Built with high pigment loading and a fine grind, it stays bold and clean for impasto, scumbling, and confident brushwork.

High tinting strength, start with a small amount when mixing. Full staining, tends to leave a stronger stain in thin films and glazes. Lightfastness rating: 4. Sheen: Semi-gloss.
