Indian Red - Artists choose Indian Red for architectural renderings, old brick and other subjects where a flat (matte) granulated surface is desired. The opacity and density intrinsic to Indian Red make this grayed earth brown a useful asset and one coat of this low-intensity pigment covers even a highly saturated passage. Try Yellow Ochre, Cerulean Blue and Indian Red to form an opaque triad, producing grayed earth-like mixtures common to landscapes.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface. Granulation is more pronounced on textured papers.
