Item #: 7620
Description: Gamblin 1980 Oils - Raw Umber, 37 ml (1.25oz)
Raw Umber is vigorously drier due to its high manganese
content (which also gives Umbers their dark colour). Raw Umber is a cool, transparent brown ranging from
yellowish brown to greenish brown. It has surprisingly good tinting strength and
a high opacity level, mixes well with greens, and is quick-drying in oil
form. It has excellent colour properties and can create a variety
of subtle, clear tints when mixed with white. It grays when mixed with blue and
white. Raw Umber can tend towards chalkiness in dark mixes in oil form. Raw Umber has excellent permanence. Raw Umber itself is considered non-toxic. If contaminated by
manganese compounds, it may be highly toxic if inhaled and moderately toxic if
ingested. This pigment gets its name from the Latin word umbra,
meaning shadow or shade. Its full name is terra di ombra, meaning earth of
shadow/shade, due to its original extraction from Umbria, Italy. It has
been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. Currently, the finest umber
comes from Cyprus.Gamblin 1980 Oils - PBr7 Raw Umber
