WINSOR & NEWTON Professional Water Colour - 14mL - 074 Burnt Sienna (PR101).

Burnt Sienna is a rich brown pigment made by burning Raw Sienna. Named after Siena in Italy, where the pigment was sourced during the Renaissance, it is a transparent pigment with red-brown tones.

Part of the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour range, it produces rich washes that range from soft golden browns to deep earthy tones depending on concentration. Its warm character makes it ideal for landscapes, architecture, portraits and natural subjects, where it can be used to depict soil, timber, stone, autumn foliage and skin tones with convincing realism.

A cornerstone of many professional palettes, Burnt Sienna is renowned for its exceptional mixing properties. When paired with French Ultramarine, it creates a wide range of natural greys and shadow colours that are often preferred over premixed blacks. Its transparency allows colours beneath to remain luminous, while its reliable lightfastness and broad usefulness make Burnt Sienna one of the most indispensable earth colours in watercolour painting.
