Watercolour tube Artequipment Rembrandt Pyrrole Orange 278 — artist-grade pigment in 37 ml tube

Artequipment Rembrandt Pyrrole Orange 278 is a 37 ml artist-grade watercolour tube formulated with a high-performance Pyrrole Orange pigment. The paint offers a vivid, warm orange hue with strong tinting strength and good lightfastness suitable for professional applications. Supplied in a squeezable metal tube, this watercolour provides consistent flow for glazing, washes and controlled detail work while maintaining pigment clarity and colour purity.

Advantages

This watercolour combines intense colour strength with reliable handling characteristics. The Pyrrole Orange pigment produces saturated, non-grainy washes and preserves transparency for layered glazing. The tube format ensures easy dispensing and reduces waste, while the formulation supports smooth mixing with other transparent watercolours and stable behaviour on standard watercolor papers.

Suitable for

• Professional and student acrylic-free watercolor painting
• Glazing and layered watercolor techniques
• Illustration, botanical and natural studies
• Mixed media work where transparent pigment is required

How to use

Squeeze a small amount of paint onto a palette and dilute with clean water to the desired working consistency. For transparent washes use a higher water ratio; for stronger passages use less dilution. Apply with brushes suited to watercolor—round brushes for details and mop or wash brushes for large areas. Allow each glaze to dry before applying subsequent transparent layers to preserve clarity and avoid muddying colours.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Test compatibility with other brands and pigments when creating large colour mixes to ensure predictable results. Use high-quality watercolor paper and natural or synthetic brushes for optimal performance.
