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. From its rich mahogany coloration in masstone to its rosy displays in tints and shades, Venetian Red is a top pick for portraiture. In landscapes, yellows and greens seemingly sing atop a Venetian Red underpainting! This color also dries fairly quickly, making it a great choice for alla prima and plein air applications.
