French Rouge Indien / 37mL / Williamsburg Handmade Oil Color

The rarity of a natural Indian Red makes it unique in comparison to synthetic counterparts made elsewhere. It has a satin sheen with a fine to medium grind and is very opaque. Its tint falls in the middle in strength, as a dusty orange pink but not dull or dirty. Originating from the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, over one hundred seventy artist quality oil colors are now made in New Berlin, NY. Each color is milled in small batches to provide a unique expression of each pigment used. For that reason, our paints are not homogeneous, as some colors require a very fine grind that results in a rich, smooth paint, while others are best allowed to retain more texture and provide a little more resistance and less gloss.
