The “umber” one color on our palette? 🤫
You guessed it: Raw Umber.
Sure, there are brighter, flashier colors. But with its cool, yellowish undertones, this ancient earth pigment is the unsung hero of some of art’s most enduring masterpieces 🖼️
Why? Because for underpainting (AKA the first, monochromatic layer of a painting that helps define color values) there’s no better choice. Because not only is Raw Umber exceptionally permanent, it’s also super lean, which helps maintain the integrity of later layers of paint.
More than just a color, Umber is a guardian of art's rich history.
🤗 Thanks to our vendor partners MacPherson's Art Supply and Sennelier
