Transparent Oxide Red
Inorganic - This Iron Oxide has been used as a wood dye, and I realised that its capacity to enrich the grain of hardwood made it a wonderful candidate for paint making. My Transparent Red Oxide is an Iron Oxide manufactured to such a small pigment particle size that like its yellow counterpart, it possesses Lake-like characteristics. No. 220 has terrific tint power that produces wonderful results in mixes with yellows and brings gravity to mid-red tones. Mix it with phthalocyanine blue for an interesting surprise!
Transparent Oxide Red is a single-pigment Michael Harding oil colour made with PR101 (Inorganic).
It is transparent, excellent lightfastness, very fast drying time, high tinting strength.
It is ground in linseed oil with average oil content.
