Tri-Art High Viscosity - Red Oxide

Synthetic red oxide is the modern update to Burnt Sienna for the classical painter. The intensity of this earth red is unmatched by natural earth pigments that tend to be more brown. Red Oxide leans more towards blue-red than our Burnt Sienna. Try Red Oxide in place of Burnt Sienna as a warm mixing compliment in limited, portrait and landscape palettes.
