Description
Cadmium Orange. A modern classic and useful on every palette.
This version is super-powerful, rammed full of pigment and nothing else other than the linseed oil binder. A beautiful, powerful, reddish orange, totally opaque, it will warm mixes like no other. Quite buttery in body.
To me it is somehow brighter than other versions, which is perfect as I feel the best use of Cadmiums is to brighten and to bring light into painting. Definitely at the red end of the orange spectrum.
Although high in price I believe it is excellent value given the amount of pigment present in the tube, I suspect you would need many tubes of Winsor and Newton Cadmium Orange to get the same amount of pigment as a tube of this contains.
