More Details
Our handmade Orange Iron Oxide watercolour paint is a warm, earthy orange with strong opacity and excellent tinting qualities. Its vibrant, roasted tone gives artists a richer, livelier alternative to Burnt Sienna; perfect for landscapes, earthy subjects, and tonal layering.
Part of our Oxide Family, Orange Iron Oxide complements Red, Yellow, and Green Oxides, providing a cohesive palette of natural, mineral-based colours. Its tactile, grounded hue evokes the warmth of roasted winter squash, bringing depth and vitality to washes and mixes.
Orange Iron Oxide embodies Ferrous & Bone’s philosophy of materials-led, handmade watercolour: slow, deliberate, and crafted for artists who value both heritage and performance.
