Description
OILBAR BURNT UMBER
A rich dark brown pigment, Burnt Umber is made from natural brown clays found in earth. It was named after Umbria, a region in Italy where it was mined. Burning the raw pigment intensifies its colour.
Our Oilbars combine the buttery consistency of oil paint with the freedom and immediacy of charcoal and pastels. Don’t mistake them for oil pastels, though – Oilbars are made to a special formulation of linseed or safflower oil and wax. You can use them on their own or with tube oil colour.
