Description

English Red Oxide (130m) (P.R. 101) is a rich, warm watercolour pigment characterized by its earthy, muted red hue, reminiscent of classic British landscapes and historical architecture. This pigment exudes rustic charm with a slightly brownish undertone, making it ideal for capturing the warmth of brick, terracotta, and weathered stone surfaces. Its natural, subdued hue adds depth and character to various subjects, from landscapes to still life and abstract compositions.

Offering excellent opacity, English Red Oxide provides strong coverage, allowing artists to create bold, saturated areas or soft, subtle washes with ease. When applied in concentrated form, it produces deep, rich red-brown tones, while diluted applications yield soft, warm shades perfect for gentle shading and natural gradients. This versatility makes it suitable for both strong, expressive strokes and delicate, layered effects.

With impressive lightfastness, English Red Oxide (P.R. 101) retains its vibrant hue over time, ensuring that artworks maintain their beauty and integrity. The pigment mixes beautifully with other colours, producing earthy oranges and browns when combined with yellows, or deep purples and muted reds when mixed with blues. Whether used for detailed textural work or expansive washes, English Red Oxide (130m) adds warmth, depth, and a touch of historical richness to any watercolour palette, making it a favourite among artists seeking to capture the essence of nature and heritage.
