Acrylic paint tube Winsor & Newton Galeria 120 ml — Red Ochre

Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic paint in a 120 ml tube — Red Ochre — is a water-based artist acrylic formulated for versatile studio and educational use. This opaque brownish-red hue, historically derived from iron oxide minerals, offers good coverage and a smooth satin finish. The paint is supplied in a convenient screw-cap tube that protects the colour and allows controlled dispensing for layering, washes and fine detail work on canvas, paper and board.

Advantages

Galeria Acrylic provides consistent colour strength and reliable opacity with pigments selected to balance performance and value. The formulation produces even coverage, a satin sheen when dry and stable colour permanence for classroom, hobby and studio projects. The tube format reduces waste and simplifies storage while allowing easy mixing and palette control. The paint’s fluid consistency supports quick application as well as glazing and scumbling techniques.
