Sichuan
Opera 川剧 (PR-102)
A semi-transparent earth pigment pushed to its limit. Very staunch in
masstone, this is a lightish red earth that thins into an impressive
flash of earthen fire. Named after southwestern Chinese opera
which
employs red-ochre painted masks as dramatic devices while highly
trained vocalists display an irrepressible and ear-crushing tonal range
that demands respect.
Lightfastness: I ; Semi-transparent
Bound in alkali refined linseed oil to ensure firey warmth.
