Description

PrimaTone Venetian Red

Fast-Drying Oil-Alkyd Paint for Professional Results

PrimaTone Venetian Red is a classic, warm red earth color made from natural red ocher (PR102), sourced from historic deposits in the Veneto region of Italy. Renowned for its rich masstone and soft pink undertones when mixed with white, this pigment has been favored by artists for centuries for its beauty, stability, and versatility. Ground in a durable oil-modified alkyd binder, Venetian Red dries evenly to a matte or semi-gloss finish within 18 to 24 hours—perfect for artists requiring reliable drying times without sacrificing the authenticity of traditional materials.

With moderate opacity and excellent tinting strength, this red ocher excels in underpainting, flesh tones, and tonal work across a wide range of techniques. Whether used in expressive plein air compositions or controlled classical layering, PrimaTone Venetian Red maintains warmth, depth, and harmony in every application.
