Acrylic colour tube Rembrandt Transparent Oxide Red 378, artist-grade acrylic paint, 20–200 ml

Rembrandt Transparent Oxide Red 378 is an artist-grade acrylic colour presented in a squeezable tube, formulated for painting and mixed-media techniques. This transparent red-oxide pigment offers controlled translucency that is especially useful for glazing and layering. The paint dries to a flexible film with reliable adhesion to canvas, paper and primed boards, allowing it to be used in fine arts, illustration and small restoration or retouching tasks.

Advantages

The formulation provides a strong tinting strength and smooth consistency that maintains brushstroke detail while allowing thin, even washes. Transparency makes this oxide red ideal for creating depth through glazes and subtle colour shifts when mixed with other pigments. Once dry the film remains flexible and resistant to cracking under normal handling, and the tube packaging keeps the paint protected and easy to dispense.

Suitable for

• Glazing and layering techniques in acrylic painting
• Fine-art canvases and primed boards
• Illustration and mixed-media works requiring transparent colour
• Small-scale restoration or retouching where a transparent red-oxide is needed

Key specifications

• Artist-grade acrylic binder for lasting colour permanence
• Transparent red-oxide pigment providing high translucency
• Smooth, spreadable consistency suitable for brushes and palette knives
• Dries to a flexible, non-brittle film
• Good adhesion to canvas, paper and primed boards
• Available in tube format for controlled dispensing

How to use

Shake or stir the tube before opening to ensure even pigment distribution if necessary, then squeeze a small amount onto a palette. Apply thin glazes by diluting with water or an acrylic medium for increased transparency and flow, or use the paint straight from the tube for fuller coverage and visible brushwork. Allow each layer to dry fully before adding subsequent glazes or opaque layers to avoid unwanted lifting or tackiness.

Usage recommendations

For glazing, mix small amounts of Rembrandt Transparent Oxide Red 378 with a slow-drying glazing medium to extend working time and enhance flow. Test compatibility with grounds and grounds’ primers before restoration work. Clean brushes and tools with water while the paint is still wet; once cured, removal requires mechanical or solvent-based methods suited to acrylic films.
