Description:
Venetian Red Oxide (160m) is a robust, earthy red watercolour pigment with a warm, muted tone that evokes the rich terracotta hues of classical Venetian architecture. This deep red has a subtle brown undertone, offering a natural, rustic quality that makes it perfect for capturing the warmth of brick, clay, and weathered landscapes. It is ideal for depicting historical settings, landscapes, and any subject requiring a grounded, earthy palette.
This pigment provides excellent opacity and smooth handling, enabling artists to create strong, rich layers of colour or more delicate washes. When applied in concentrated form, Venetian Red Oxide (160m) yields a deep, intense red-brown hue, while diluted applications create softer, warm tones suitable for shading and creating depth. Its semi-opaque quality also makes it ideal for layering, providing flexibility in its use.
Renowned for its high lightfastness, Venetian Red Oxide retains its vibrant colour and durability over time, ensuring longevity in artworks. It mixes beautifully with other pigments, producing earthy oranges and browns when combined with yellows, or more muted reds and purples when mixed with blues. Whether used for bold, dramatic strokes or soft, nuanced washes, Venetian Red Oxide (160m) brings a sense of warmth, depth, and historical richness to any watercolour painting.
