Inart Acrylic Paint Red Ochre 75ml (140299039) has a buttery consistency that provides good coverage in one or two coats on canvas, paper, cardboard, or wood. It dries quickly and has a satin finish after drying. It can be diluted with water for more transparent, watercolor-like effects, or applied directly for greater opacity and color definition. It can also be mixed with other colors in the Inart range to obtain intermediate tones. This earthy tone, more reddish than the yellow ochre of the same range, is frequently used in arid landscapes, darker skin tones, and warm shadow mixtures, being one of the most commonly used base colors in naturalistic painting. It is suitable for fine arts students and amateur artists working on landscapes or portraits who need a warmer earth tone than conventional yellow ochre.
