Burnt Sienna (37ml Oils)

Neutralised Orange, Transparent

Burnt Sienna is valued for its vibrancy and transparency. When mixed with Ultramarine Blue it will provide a wide range of dark browns and dark blues which are superior to ‘Paynes Grays’ as they do not contain black. The same mix will also give you a range of soft, velvety blacks which are far superior to any black paint. It is absolutely lightfast.

Description

  • It was discovered in antiquity that Raw Sienna could be roasted to produce a warm, rich orange to reddish brown.
  • Particularly valued for its transparency, it is one of the small group of ancient pigments whose beauty and permanence have not been equaled by any modern industrial substitute.
  • Rated ASTM 1 in all of our media and is on the list of approved pigments. Good grades, unclouded by filler or other pigments, are worth seeking.
  • Tinting strength varies with different grades, as does clarity of hue and transparency. Choose carefully, a clear fiery Burnt Sienna can be invaluable. Non-metallic preservatives.
