A J Ludlow English Red Professional Watercolour - 3ml

English Red is just one of the bright and exquisite Professional Watercolours from A J Ludlow. Being based on a single pigment with excellent permanence and light fastness, ensures that this watercolour’s properties are exceptional.

English Red Professional Watercolour is prepared using the synthetic inorganic pigment, anhydrous ferric oxide, which gives the watercolour its bright and rich red colour excellent light fastness and opacity.

This professional quality watercolour from A J Ludlow has been named after and in celebration of the naturally occurring red ochre mined at the Clearwell caves under the Forest of Dean for 4500 years. By matching the colour of the naturally occurring red ochre from Clearwell caves with a synthetic anhydrous ferric oxide, reduces the colour variation that occurs from the small scale ochre mining, which is still done in the mine today. It also allows the remaining deposits to last just that little bit longer, but still allow today’s watercolourists to use this iconic colour on their palette.
