Alizarin Claret
Organic - Alizarin Claret has a slightly lighter mass tone than that of Alizarin Crimson, and yet it has greater resistance to UV light than Alizarin Crimson. I specifically formulated this beautiful, full-bodied colour for those artists who are reluctant to use Alizarin Crimson. With its versatility and beautry, Alizarin Claret is perfect for portraitures, landscapes, and non-figurative works, and it’s a delight for mixing with other transparent colours.
Alizarin Claret is a single-pigment Michael Harding oil colour made with PR177 (Organic).
It is transparent, excellent lightfastness, average drying time, average tinting strength.
It is ground in linseed oil with high oil content.
