Description

Indian Red Oxide (180m) is a deep, robust watercolour pigment characterized by its earthy, warm red tone with rich brown undertones. This pigment evokes the colour of iron-rich soils and ancient terracotta, making it perfect for capturing the essence of natural landscapes, rugged terrain, and historical architecture. Its strong, muted colour lends a grounding, organic quality to artwork, bringing warmth and depth to compositions.

Known for its excellent opacity, Indian Red Oxide (180m) provides rich, saturated colour with smooth, even application. When used in concentrated form, it creates a deep, intense red-brown, ideal for bold strokes and dramatic shading. Diluted, it produces softer, dusty pinks and warm, subtle tones, perfect for glazing or creating gentle transitions. Its versatility allows it to be used for both powerful, direct applications and delicate, atmospheric effects.

Indian Red Oxide is highly valued for its outstanding lightfastness, ensuring the longevity and stability of the pigment in artwork. It mixes beautifully with other colours, producing earthy oranges and browns when combined with yellows, or deep purples and muted maroons when blended with blues. This pigment is an essential choice for artists seeking a timeless, versatile red that brings warmth, strength, and an earthy richness to their watercolour palette.
