Description

Burnt Sienna (P.R. 101) is a rich, warm reddish-brown watercolour pigment renowned for its fiery undertones and versatility. This essential pigment is a favourite among artists for capturing the earthy tones of nature, from rugged landscapes to autumn leaves and warm shadows in both natural and figurative compositions. Its depth and warmth make it an indispensable colour in any artist's palette.

As a semi-transparent pigment, Burnt Sienna offers smooth, even washes that can range from bold, intense strokes to delicate, transparent glazes. When used full strength, it provides a deep, rich brown with subtle red undertones, while when diluted, it transforms into soft, warm washes of reddish-orange, perfect for creating gradients, shadows, or underpainting.

This pigment boasts excellent lightfastness, ensuring its rich tones remain stable over time. Burnt Sienna mixes effortlessly with a wide range of colours, especially blues and greens, to produce natural, earthy hues, or can be darkened for deeper, dramatic shades. Whether for landscape artists, portraitists, or anyone looking to add warmth and character to their work, Burnt Sienna is an essential addition to any watercolour collection.
