I’m a novice at creating art. I loved this “natural akrylic paint” for a few reasons. First the color “scarlet red” is clear , bright and gorgeous. Second it has no smell, it doesn’t aggravate my allergies or my sensitivities. Third , it flows and handles well. Fourth comes in a large tube (59ml) which is going to last me a very long time. Although, given how much I like it, maybe not as long as I anticipated! My only criticism’, more like a request, is as an amateur I would have liked the option of purchasing a smaller tube.
