Description
Sometimes you come across a paint which is really exceptional, in handling, colour and purpose, this in my opinion is one of those.
A rich, glowing, deep red. It's a modern pigment that really excels and could have a place as 'the' red on your palette. It is a semi-transparent pigment which generally gives the appearance of more depth than opaque pigments.
In masstone a deep red, not dissimilar to a Cadmium Red Deep with almost bluish undertones. It is a strong tinter providing a full on range of vibrant pinks when white is added.
Heavy pigment load, so massive amounts of colour...and perfectly ground with shortish, buttery handling.
