Made from pigment mined and mixed in Italy, Italian Venetian Red is redder than most and smolders with a warm intensity. An earthy red-brown leaning towards opaque with sedimentary properties, Venetian Red is great for fall paintings and applications similar to Indian Red. Drop Venetian Red into a wet Lunar Earth wash for exciting results. Venetian Red is non-staining, lifts with some difficulty when dry, but leaves a special warm afterglow when blotted at the damp state.

Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
