Raw Sienna is powerful to use as a ground tone and for underpainting.
Its origins date back to the 17th century, this is one of the indispensable Earth Iron Oxides!
As the name suggests, the best grades come from central Italy, where I derive my own supply.

Michael Harding's Raw Sienna oil paint is one of the main reasons I changed to the MH brand. I had always found other brand's raw siennas were too yellow for my liking. MH's Raw Sienna is an earthier colour that works well when mixed with cobalt and ultramarine blues. It also lends itself well to cooler skin tones.
