Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Oil Paint – (1.25oz/37ml) Indian Red

Indian Red is an opaque red with blue undertones. Originally made of natural red iron oxides found in earth, it is one of the oldest pigments and is favored for its permanence. Traditional oils, wonderful as they are, take a very long time to dry. That’s why we created our Griffin Alkyds – they dry much more quickly and this means impasto and glazing techniques can be done in a single session. We’ve created 48 tones and these have a slightly greater level of transparency for increased depth and clarity when glazing. Our Griffins are a bit more fluid in consistency than traditional oils and they dry with a somewhat more reflective surface, too.
