Deep Violet belongs to the Intense range, marked with a yellow circle – shades with higher pigment purity and concentration. On violets that is worth most of all: ordinary dark violets lose their colour and go grey when thinned, while Deep Violet holds it.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Intense range differ from Standard?
Higher pigment concentration and purity – the shades are more saturated and cover better. Their label has a yellow circle; Standard has an orange one.
Why does my violet go grey in shadow?
Usually because black was added. Use Deep Violet or Black Purple instead – the darkness then keeps its colour.
How do I thin it?
With water or an AK thinner. A few drops are enough for brush work; airbrushing needs more – AK thinners and cleaners are made for that. With acrylics, two thin coats always beat one thick one.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, the 3rd Generation range dries matt. To protect the figure or even out the sheen, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
The full range is in the AK 3rd Generation category.
