Burnt Sienna

Description
Burnt Sienna is our exquisitely hand-crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated and high quality single source pigment mixed only with pure honey. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, hand packed, filled, and labeled — ensuring maximum pigment concentration without any binders, fillers, or extenders. Our unique formula uses only one pigment and pure local honey, delivering a maximally concentrated watercolor paint.

Burnt Sienna is a rich, reddish-brown watercolor made from a single natural earth pigment that has been heated to deepen its tone and enhance its warmth. Revered by artists for centuries, Burnt Sienna brings depth, warmth, and versatility to any palette. Its strong tinting strength, soft granulation, and smooth semi-opaque body make it perfect for shadow work, figure painting, landscapes, and glazing. It blends beautifully with both earth tones and brights, offering a natural, grounded feel with a classic painterly character. Burnt Sienna is a must-have for any artist seeking a historically rooted, high-performance pigment with timeless appeal.
