Venetian Red, named after the area where it was once mined near Venice, is a traditional brick-red earth that has been beloved by landscape and figure painting artists for centuries. Venetian Red is semi-opaque in masstone yet dilutes smoothly, mixes easily, and often displays a soft granulation. From Renaissance-style robes and lips to red rock cliffs and canyons, Venetian Red’s extensive uses make it easy to see why this color has withstood the test of time.
For a complete 3-color palette using Venetian Red, see Da Vinci's Warm Up Trio watercolor painting set.
