Matisse Studio Acrylic Paint 120ml - Red Oxide

Red Oxide is one of humanity’s oldest pigments, used by ancient peoples as early as 100,000 years ago for both practical and ceremonial purposes. Matisse Studio’s Red Oxide pays homage to this rich history with a Series 1, fully transparent acrylic paint made from PR101 (synthetic iron oxide). Deeply earthy and versatile, this colour remains an artist essential, prized for its historical resonance and utility in modern compositions.

Timeless and reliable, Red Oxide offers:

• A soft, muted earth red ideal for minimalist palettes and naturalistic themes
• Outstanding permanence (ASTM I) and lightfastness, suitable for archival-quality work
• A beautiful mixer blending with Titanium White or Unbleached Titanium yields gentle blush tones, while pairing with Cobalt Blue or Ultramarine produces subtle mauves and soft purples
• Greater versatility than Burnt Sienna when mixing muted pinks, oranges, and dusky hues
• Ideal for landscapes, portraits, and underpainting, with visual warmth rooted in thousands of years of artistic tradition

Whether used alone or in a carefully blended palette, Red Oxide brings grounding warmth and historical depth to any work.
