Acrylic colour tube, Artequipment Rembrandt Light Oxide Red 339, artists' acrylic paint

Artequipment Rembrandt Light Oxide Red 339 artists' acrylic colour in a tube is a professional-grade acrylic paint formulated for fine art, studies and mixed-media applications. The light oxide red pigment provides an opaque, warm red with good covering power and predictable handling. Supplied in a squeezable tube, this acrylic colour is suitable for direct application, layering and glazing techniques on canvas, paper and board and for use with a variety of acrylic mediums to alter drying time, gloss and texture.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers reliable opacity and consistent pigment load for even coverage and colour matching across sessions. It dries to a durable, water-resistant film characteristic of artist acrylics and accepts overpainting and varnishing. The tube format preserves paint freshness and allows controlled dispensing; the formulation is designed for good brushability, smooth blending and minimal brush drag.

Suitable for

• Fine art painting on canvas and boards
• Illustrations and studies requiring opaque coverage
• Mixed-media work and layered techniques
• Detail work, glazing and blending with other acrylic colours

Key specifications

• Colour family: light oxide red
• Binder type: acrylic polymer emulsion (artist acrylic)
• Opacity: opaque
• Finish: typically satin to matte when dry (depending on medium)
• Application surfaces: canvas, paper, board and primed panels
• Packaging: squeezable tube for controlled dispensing

How to use

Dispense the required amount of paint from the tube onto a palette. Apply directly with brushes, palette knives or other tools. For thin washes or glazing, dilute with appropriate acrylic medium or water, noting that heavy dilution reduces opacity. For increased flow, gloss or extended open time, mix with compatible acrylic mediums following manufacturer guidance. Allow each layer to dry before overpainting to avoid lifting; dry times vary by film thickness and ambient conditions.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube capped in a cool, dry place to maintain consistency. Use on properly primed or sized surfaces for best adhesion and archival performance. Test mixing behaviour with other colours and mediums on a sample before applying to final work to ensure expected colour and finish.
