Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Colour – Charcoal Grey

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 Artists’ Oil Colour is the best in traditional oil colour, with a wide spectrum of colours.

We use only the purest pigments with the most suitable drying oils. Each colour is individually formulated to optimise and enhance the pigments’ natural characteristics to provide covering power, tinting strength and stability.

Pigments
With 80 single pigment colours, this range offers infinite colour possibilities and brighter secondary mixes.

Consistency &Texture
The buttery, stiff consistency of Artists’ Oil Colour is ideal for retaining brush or palette knife strokes and can be thinned to a very fine glaze.

Surface Sheen
The sheen reflects the pigments used and the different levels of oil in each formulation, so the gloss level varies across individual colours. This can be controlled through the selection of surface, the addition of solvent and the mediums used.
