Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colours - Indian Red - 37 ML is magnificently designed to look and work just like traditional oil paint. The key difference between Artisan and conventional oils is its ability to thin and clean up with water. Artisan has been specifically developed to appear and work just like conventional oil colour. The depth of colour, buttery consistency, light fastness, opacity/transparency, performance and drying times of Artisan, allow artists to use this range for all oil colour techniques. Indian Red is an opaque red colour with blue undertones. Originally made of natural red iron oxides found in earth, it is one of the oldest pigments and is favoured for its permanence.
