DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watrecolors, 1.8ml Half Pan – Burnt Umber – Series 1

Extra Fine Watrecolors Series 1

This rich dark brown earth pigment is popular with artists due to its semi- or semi-transparent qualities. It is lightfast, low-staining, and can readily be lifted to vary its value in otherwise dark passages. Warm Burnt Umber with a little Alizarin Crimson or cool it with blue as your subject dictates.

Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
