Iron oxide is perfectly capable of being used as a pigment and has a long history. Dating back to cave paintings, ochre, a mineral rich in iron oxide. So the proportion of iron oxide pigments in the whole history of human painting is very large in oil painting. It can be 1/7 or 1/8 of a common color. If you have experience in buying oil colors. So you've seen the colors "iron oxide red", "ochre", "Mars black" and "Mars brown", which I mentioned in other answers: Mars = Mars = Mars = iron, which means Mars black is the literary name for iron oxide black. However, the problem comes to the iron oxide rust this kind of thing should do to become painting level? I once spent a year buying every mineral powder in sight. It was later discovered that the toner used for painting was still trusted by the high quality painting manufacturer. Painting toner needs to be acid resistant (not in oil reaction) light resistant, can mix colors, many requirements. More importantly, what we need in painting is beautiful hue... You can make iron oxide red... And then compare that to the earth red of old Holland... Discover the earth red color of good brand look how look how beautiful, bright and full. However, different iron oxide reds are dull and eventually absorb oil... I would like to give an example, the same grape, the origin and quality are different. It is good that this stuff is not wild, sour and inimitable, but the famous origin of Xinjiang makes you linger on, one by one... So you can try to make paint, and it's a lot of fun, but then you realize that it makes sense to sell good paint for a lot of money, and it makes sense to select paint after decades of hard work. I recommend giving it a try. But finally remind you, the unknown toner will produce painting life huge hidden trouble.
