Tri-Art High Viscosity - Golden Orange

Golden Orange is a mixture of quinacridone burnt orange, quinacridone crimson, transparent pyrrole red, and carbon black. Despite being mostly organic in nature, Golden Orange is an earth orange in character, with a red leaning undertone. Golden Orange surpasses traditional earth colours like Burnt Sienna with greater intensity of colour and transparency. Use as a mixing compliment in place of traditional earth pigments or apply as a glaze to reveal its rich brown undertone.
