Hello Doris, thanks for the video, great!! Can I ask you a question, if you don't mind? Is gamblins Venetian Red smooth and 'fluid' or is it gritty and dry out of the tube? I ask because there are some many versions of pr101 and some are very dry ... and I prefer smooth. Also, do you know if it dries to a glossy finish or satin or matte? I would really appreciate these answers. Thanks again
I’d describe it as more fluid. It’s also a little matt. I use liquin which adds a little gloss but it’s a more chalky/opaque colour but it has a smooth buttery consistency.
It can be a little overwhelming in mixes for sure. I recently got ‘transparent red oxide’ which is the same pigment but transparent and less overpowering so if you like the colour that could be an option. There’s also a transparent yellow oxide that is a transparent version of yellow ochre :)
I simply want a good reason not to use vermilion because I want a single pigment that is non toxic. Where does one go? Well what about down the alphabet, so then what will happen?
It's a lovely earthy red.
Good video - I'm gonna buy Venetian Red right now.
Hope you enjoy it!
Always have used vermilion but that’s a pretty sweet color.
My kitchen walls are venetian red and lime paint.

I have it and like the colour, but I've put it aside as I find I have trouble controlling it and it takes over my palette.

La vidéo est un peu trop rapide, mais le sujet est intéressant, merci.

Sinopia and Indian red are both 101
So is Venetian
Transparent red ochre is pr102
So is vermillion. It’s 101
It's PR106 actually.
