Description
Solid, rich and dark just what is required from a Burnt Umber, a version unique to Rublev.
Dark brown in masstone, when applied thinly it presents luminous, mahogany hues. For a Burnt Umber it is definitely at the cooler end of the temperature spectrum.
In tints when mixed with white, warm, earthy greys are produced and being a relatively strong tinter the range of these tints is quite wide. It paints 'long' being quite lean in body.
This French umber is from the quarries of Gargas and Rustrel in the heart of the Luberon Massif.
