Bring rich, dramatic color to your palette with Gamblin 1980 Oil Color – Alizarin Crimson Permanent 🎨🔴✨. Part of the trusted 1980 oil color line, this paint was developed to give artists professional color performance at an approachable price, making it a favorite among students, studios, and working painters alike.

Gamblin formulates these paints using pure pigments, refined linseed oil, and marble dust (calcium carbonate) to create a beautifully balanced oil paint with excellent working properties. The result is a paint that handles smoothly on the brush, mixes cleanly with other colors, and maintains the rich, buttery consistency artists expect from traditional oil paints. 🖌️🎨

This Permanent Alizarin Crimson replaces the historic but fugitive PR83 Alizarin Crimson, offering a lightfast modern alternative that preserves the classic deep crimson character without the fading issues of the original pigment. In its masstone, it presents a cool, slightly bluish red that produces luminous glazes and dramatic dark mixtures. Because it uses modern pigments, it also retains strong chroma in mixtures and bright, vibrant tints. 🔴✨
