Description:

A vibrant, modern watercolour pigment celebrated for its luminous intensity and versatile applications. This transparent red features a striking balance of warmth and clarity, leaning slightly toward a cool undertone, which makes it perfect for capturing florals, sunsets, and dynamic highlights. Its clean, glowing quality allows it to stand out on its own or blend seamlessly with other colours.

When applied, Quinacridone Red creates smooth, even washes that range from bold, saturated tones to delicate, translucent glazes. Its excellent tinting strength makes it a superb choice for mixing, yielding radiant oranges, rich purples, and warm neutrals when combined with complementary pigments. This pigment is a favourite among artists for its ability to add vibrancy and depth to any composition.

With outstanding lightfastness and permanence, Quinacridone Red ensures that its luminous hues remain vivid over time, making it a reliable choice for professional and archival-quality artwork. Whether used for bold statements or subtle accents, Quinacridone Red (P.R 209) is an essential pigment for artists seeking to infuse their work with warmth, brilliance, and modern energy.
