Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium Olive Green 75ml

Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium

Olive Green 75ml

Muted, earthy, warm yellow-green: the landscape tone of dry grass, khaki, and autumn foliage.

Olive Green is the muted, warm yellow-green in the Dimension Acrylic Premium range, sitting in the earthy, khaki end of the green spectrum. Based on a blend of PY83, PG7, and PBr7, it delivers the tone of dry grass in summer, military khaki, dull autumn foliage, and the warm scrubby greens of an Australian bush landscape. Less vivid than Sap Green and warmer than Terre Verte, it fills the muted earth-green register that is essential in naturalistic landscape painting. Fully opaque, it covers in one pass. In the ultra-thick heavy body formula, it holds knife marks and impasto texture without slumping. Dries to a gloss finish with a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip

Olive Green is indispensable for Australian bush and dry landscape painting. Use it for dry grass, scrubby bush, and the muted olive tone of eucalyptus foliage in flat light. Shift it toward Raw Umber or Yellow Ochre for the driest, most sun-bleached passages.

What Makes This Colour Essential

●

Consistency

Ultra-Thick Heavy Body

Olive Green delivers the full ultra-thick Dimension Acrylic Premium formula. Palette knife ridges and brushstroke marks hold without slumping.

★

Tone

Muted Warm Earth-Green

The warm, earthy tone of Olive Green fills the muted landscape green register. It reads as dry, sun-bleached, or autumnal rather than the lush green of spring or summer foliage.

✓

Coverage

Fully Opaque in One Pass

Olive Green is fully opaque and covers mid-toned grounds in a single application of the thick formula.

●

Lightfastness

Blue Wool Level 7+ / ASTM I

Rated at Blue Wool Level 7 or above (equivalent to ASTM I), Dimension Acrylic Premium Olive Green is formulated to remain unchanged for more than 100 years under museum-quality lighting conditions. Purpose-built for archival and professional work.

Mixing with Olive Green

Olive Green is most useful in dry landscape and autumn-palette work. Its earthy character means it integrates naturally with the brown and ochre pigments of an earth palette.

Combine this colour with...

Raw Umber → very muted khaki and dry earth-green for the most subdued landscape passages

Yellow Ochre → warm golden-olive for sunlit dry grass and dry autumn foliage passages

Burnt Sienna → warm, rich autumn brown-green for turned leaves and earthy autumn palette

Titanium White → pale sage and light khaki for atmospheric distance and soft muted backgrounds

Lamp Black → deep dark olive for the shadow end of earthy landscape and scrub passages

About Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium

Founded in Australia in 2002, Mont Marte creates high-quality fine art materials for students, hobbyists, and professional artists worldwide. Dimension Acrylic Premium is their flagship heavy body range: an ultra-thick, high-viscosity acrylic formulated for impasto work, palette knife painting, and any technique that demands a paint that holds its shape.

Is Olive Green suitable for Australian landscape painting?

Yes. Olive Green closely matches the muted, dry, warm greens of Australian eucalyptus and scrub foliage, particularly in dry conditions. It is one of the most relevant colours in the range for Australian landscape painters.

Can I use Dimension Acrylic Olive Green with a palette knife?

Yes. Palette knife application is one of the primary uses for Dimension Acrylic Premium. The ultra-thick formula sits firm on the knife, deposits a clean hard-edged layer on the surface, and holds the shape of each mark as it dries without slumping. Apply straight from the tube for maximum texture and sharp ridges.

How does Olive Green differ from Sap Green?

Sap Green is brighter and more naturalistic, reading as fresh summer foliage. Olive Green is more muted, warmer, and earthy, reading as dry, khaki, or autumn-toned foliage. Both have a place in a complete landscape palette.

How long does Dimension Acrylic Olive Green take to dry?

Thin applications dry in 20-30 minutes. Heavy impasto builds applied with a palette knife can take 1-2 hours to dry fully. Drying time extends in cold or humid conditions. Do not apply a second thick layer over the first until the lower layer has dried completely to the touch.

What surfaces can I use Dimension Acrylic Olive Green on?

Canvas, board, wood, air-dry clay, plaster, cardboard, paper, leather, and most rigid plastics. For best adhesion on non-porous or slick surfaces, apply a coat of gesso or acrylic primer first. Dimension Acrylic Premium is compatible with all Mont Marte acrylic mediums, gels, and impasto pastes.
