Michael Harding Artists Oil Colour 40ml Red Umber
Red Umber is a synthetic iron oxide. This variant shade of Burnt Umber is based off of 16th and 17th century paintings that suggest this pigment had lighter and redder characteristics than those it assumed when manufactured in animal bladders. Raw Umber is calcinated to make the pigment, and the amount of Manganese Dioxide mixed with the Iron Oxide determines the range of undertones; this formulation is much warmer than is usual.
