Chroma 2 Red Oxide 2 Litre Paint

Chroma 2 Paint - Red Oxide (2L) is a highly pigmented, non-toxic, and Australian-made acrylic paint designed to meet the needs of primary and secondary school art classrooms. With its creamy texture and strong colour saturation, it offers excellent coverage and versatility across a range of techniques such as silk screen printing, lino block printing, mono printing, and general painting. One of its key advantages is that it does not dry completely hard, making it easy to wash out of brushes and tools-even after partial drying. This allows students to focus more on their creative process with minimal cleanup stress. Its impressive œholdout ability means that dry layers can be blended or painted over without lifting, encouraging layering, reworking, and texture building. Though not fully waterproof, the paint dries to a semi-permanent, flexible finish suitable for both short-term and long-term projects. The earthy red oxide tone is ideal for natural, historical, or abstract compositions. Due to its high pigmentation, it is recommended that students wear protective aprons or clothing while using this paint.
