Inspired by the deep, lush reds found on the subcontinent of India, opaque Indian Red is a rich chestnut reddish brown. Artists choose Indian Red for architectural renderings, old bricks and other subjects where a flat (matte) granular surface is desired. The opacity and density intrinsic to Indian Red make this grayed earth brown a useful asset. One coat of this low-intensity pigment covers even a highly saturated passage. Handling tip – hit it once and walk away.
GOUACHE swatches are painted in three sections across black and white surfaces. The top is mass tone straight from the tube; middle is 1:1 paint and water; bottom is 1:1:1 paint, water and Titanium White.
