Description
The pigment in his red earth paint is sourced from the quarries of Northern Italy where the veins of rich red and orange iron oxides run deep.
A perfect paint for portrait painters, mixed with white it instantly produces rather warm, luminous flesh tints. You could render some very realistic flesh with a tube of this, some raw umber and some white.
It is semi-transparent and will work well as a glaze, again excellent in portraiture, particularly in areas where blood is near the surface, like ears and noses!
Just natural iron oxide and cold pressed linseed oil. Painters have been using this combination for hundreds, if not thousands of years for a reason, it works very well.
