The Dina Wakley Media Gloss Dropper Papaya is an opaque acrylic paint with a gloss finish, designed for layering techniques and precise application. The dropper bottle gives you full control over flow and quantity, making it ideal for both detail work and controlled colour placement.
It can be used directly from the bottle or with a brush. While wet, it can be diluted with water to create softer blends and transitions. Once dry, it becomes permanent, allowing you to build layers without disturbing previous ones.
The Papaya shade is a warm salmon colour that sits between pink and orange, making it especially useful for softer transitions and lighter compositions. It works well as a base in warm palettes and helps balance stronger colours without flattening the overall result.

✨ Inspiration Tip:
Use Papaya when you want a softer warm tone that still keeps the composition lively. It works especially well for transitions between pinks and oranges, as well as for lighter background areas. Pair it with Apricot or Tangerine for warmer blends, or with Taffy to push towards brighter pink tones. For contrast, combine it with Malachite or Sapphire to balance the warmth and bring more structure into the page.
