Tri-Art Oil Colours - Permanent Alizarin Crimson

Glossy

Transparent

Permanent Crimson is a mixture of  Transparent Red Iron Oxide and Quinacridone Magenta. This complex magenta mixture has a deep, slightly muted, near red mass tone, with a red leaning magenta undertone. Permanent Crimson is an excellent replacement for the  traditional painter looking to improve upon cool reds like Alizarin Crimson. Permanent Crimson offers cleaner colour mixing and greater intensity of colour for glazing techniques. 

Alizarin Crimson is a staple of classical 19th and 20th century painting. Traditionally made with unstable dye products, Tri-Art has expertly formulated a hue that employs a mix of more lightfast modern pigments. Naphthol Red and Transparent Red Oxide forms the slightly dusky brick red mass tone of Alizarin Crimson, while Dioxane Violet imparts Alizarin's signature near purple, red undertone. Alizarin Crimson remains a popular choice mixing and glazing, particularly in limited palettes.
