A Tertiary orange that sits toward the center of the wheel. PR101 has a long history and has gone by many names. This is the closest pigment to a traditional Venetian Red used in early European and Rosemaling techniques. It is often used to tone and control intense oranges and reds. The Dutch master, Jan Van Huysum, revolutionized grisaille methods by incorporting this tone in his underpaintings.

Heritage MultiMedia Acrylics are a water based non toxic resin acrylic. The binding system contains a 360º coating agent that protects the pigment and improves the overall lightfastness of the color. Dry as needed with a hair dryer and clean up with soap and water.

Heritage MultiSurface Sealer and Varnishes contain UV inhibitors to further protect surfaces. This is especially important when working with delicate papers in decoupaged designs.

For Acrylic techniques, use with water. Out of the tube, they have an approximate drying time of 20 minutes depending on the humidity level in a room.

For Global techniques (oil emulation), use with Extender Medium. By evaporating the water out of the paint and replacing it with Extender you can add hours to the drying time.
