Description

Burnt Sienna is our exquisitely hand crafted watercolor paint made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every pan is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled, using pure local honey, natural gum arabic, and a small amount of food grade sodium benzoate preservative to achieve a concentrated and richly textured pigment. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

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.
