DANIEL SMITH Watercolour - 15mL - Enviro Red Iron Oxide (PBr6)

This versatile red-brown is deep brick at full strength. In lighter washes a warm and transparent earthy rose is revealed. A perfect brown-pink for portraiture – it’s the natural looking red on cheeks and lips. To make these paints, pigments from the earth’s crust are obtained through a process known as Iron Oxide Recovery (IOR). This method removes coloured iron oxides that pollute mine water, cleaning the water so it can re-enter a receiving stream-and resulting in a cleaner natural environment. The recovered iron oxide is thoroughly washed, then used to create a trio of rich colours ranging in tone from a warm golden yellow to a deep red earth to a beautiful saturated dark brown with a bluish undertone. Enviro-Friendly pigments are reclaimed and refined, giving you an earth-friendly option without sacrificing colour quality.
