Mont Marte Dimension Acrylic Premium
Pearl Wine Red 75ml
Deep pearlescent red-wine: iridescent crimson shimmer for jewel tones and decorative mixed media.

Pearl Wine Red is the deep pearlescent red in the Dimension Acrylic Premium range, combining a deep crimson-red pigment with pearlescent mica to deliver the rich, shimmering quality of dark rubies, wine-glass reflections, and jewel-toned silk. The pearlescent mica gives the colour a multi-directional iridescent shimmer that shifts between deep wine-red and a brighter, more luminous quality depending on the viewing angle. Semi-opaque, it is most effective as a final highlight or accent layer over a dry dark red or burgundy passage. In the ultra-thick heavy body formula, it holds knife marks and sculptural texture without slumping. Dries to a pearlescent gloss finish. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

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. With a Blue Wool Level 7+ lightfast rating (equivalent to ASTM I), the 48-colour range is built for serious, permanent work. Available in 75ml tubes and 250ml pots.

What subjects suit Pearl Wine Red best?

Pearl Wine Red is ideal for dark roses, red tulips, and deep botanical subjects where a shimmering highlight adds realism. It is also effective for jewellery painting (rubies, garnets), luxury fabric passages (dark red silk, velvet), and wine glass reflections.

Can I use Dimension Acrylic Pearl Wine Red 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 should I apply Pearl Wine Red for the best jewel effect?

Apply Pearl Wine Red over a completely dry base layer of Carmine or Permanent Red using a palette knife in a single confident stroke. Allow the pearlescent layer to dry undisturbed for the most even shimmer distribution.

How long does Dimension Acrylic Pearl Wine Red 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 Pearl Wine Red 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.
