Description
Quinacridone Burnt Orange, known as PR206 in the art world, boasts a striking earthy maroon hue in its densest form. As you dilute it, it reveals a vivid red undertone. Renowned for its capacity to produce effective shadows, particularly when blended with blues or yellows, it's a favourite for crafting deeper flesh tones in portraits. When mixed with phthalo blue, it creates a diverse palette of browns, turquoise and greens. Artists favour this pigment for its versatility, finding it particularly apt for landscapes and seascapes, where it harmonises seamlessly with natural colours. Quinacridone Burnt Orange pairs beautifully with a variety of colours. Blending with Ultramarine Blue or yellow oxide creates deep reds and oranges. Introduce white to these mixes, and you'll find delightful peachy shades. This versatility is a boon for artists experimenting with colour mixing. Quinacridone Burnt Orange (PR206) is not just a pigment; it's a modern interpretation of traditional colours like Brown Madder. Its semi-transparent nature and rich, earthy tones offer artists unparalleled depth and vibrancy. This pigment's unique blend of warmth and intensity makes it an essential addition to any artist's palette, whether for use in landscapes, portraits, or abstract art.
