Description
This sienna is a natural orange-brown earth pigment imported from Italy. Use this and the 'limited edition' sienna's with the same method and purpose as plain Burnt Sienna. Many artists prefer Italian Burnt Sienna over others. Perhaps the subtle semi-transparent quality of Italian Burnt Sienna more closely matches the brown and earth tones of our Pacific Northwest. Balance a super-opaque such as Indian Red or Cadmium against super transparent Quinacridone Gold or Burnt Orange, then incorporate Italian Burnt Sienna to unify fall landscapes or close-up leaf studies, as well as to render weathered slate and old brick. | ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent Transparency: Semi-transparent Granulating: Yes Staining: Non-staining (PBr7) |

Slightly browner than red when placed next to the W&N equivalent but perfectly acceptable. Quality and performance are just as good and the lower price point will keep me with this pigment and I’ll try others by DS.

My second colour that runs out about the same time as French Ultramarine. I use it in tree scapes, as it adds a compliment to my Australian green bush and mix with FUM for a variety of greys tonearly black
