WINSOR & NEWTON Professional Watercolour - 14mL - 076 Burnt Umber (PBr7,PR101,PY42)

Professional grade watercolour range with a reputation built on optimal pigment dispersion to deliver vibrant and even washes.

A rich dark brown pigment, Burnt Umber is made from natural brown clays found in earth. It was named after Umbria, a region in Italy where it was mined. Burning the raw pigment intensifies its colour.

It produces transparent washes that can range from soft warm browns to near-black values when applied more heavily. Its natural appearance makes it ideal for painting tree bark, timber, shadows, soil, architecture and a wide variety of organic textures.

Highly valued for its mixing versatility, Burnt Umber can be combined with blues to create sophisticated darks, muted greys and atmospheric shadow tones without the harshness often associated with black pigments. It is particularly effective for adding depth, contrast and structure to landscapes and urban sketches while maintaining a natural, harmonious feel. With its dependable lightfastness, transparency and understated character, Burnt Umber remains an essential colour on many professional watercolour palettes.
