Description:

English Red Oxide (120m) is a warm, muted red watercolour pigment characterized by its earthy, rich tone reminiscent of classic British landscapes and historical architecture. This pigment exudes a 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 a variety of 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 strong lightfastness, English Red Oxide maintains its vibrancy and stability over time, ensuring lasting brilliance in artwork. It mixes beautifully with other colours, creating warm browns when blended with yellows and soft, muted shades when combined with blues. Whether used for detailed textural work or expansive washes, English Red Oxide (P.R. 101) adds warmth, depth, and a touch of historical richness to any watercolour palette.
